Event Coverage Corvette Creek Find part 2

guess I pissed somebody off - didn't hear from the moderators.....he's the short....and the one kid I might have chance with......he knows cars...

 

Did it originally have a steering wheel on that handle in the hood? Pretty big car.

 

Great picture of you and the boy!!

 

Now we see what you were talking about. Neat find for your son. His smile can't get any better than that picture shows.

 

Great find. You son sure looks happy with it.

 

That's one happy kid! That used to have a steering wheel on it. A late friend of mine had one in his place for years. Some Corvette collector paid well for it a few years ago.

 

that is a dealer promo I have a new one in the original box very rare great find pic is priceless

 

cool beans...now all we need is a thread on how to clean creek dust off

 

Ahhhh...now I get it. That's a pretty cool find!

 

Two things;

1 that's an awesome find!
2 you should have posted those pics in the first tread!

I hope he enjoys it. All the best to him.

 

Neat find for the kid!
As Papa Tom described-Here's what they look like new;

Cool - was it in a little bitty barn?

 

Nice. Please put the old pic back up now that we know what to look for.

 

well now, was that a corvette block & crank it was resting on? there's more to the story....

 

O.K., now we have to find the original owner and get them to buy it back.

 

I'm hoping for a build thread on the restoration.

 

A really small thread!!-MIKE

I don't know about that, Mike. There's a pretty big thread on a custom lawnmower lurking around these parts.

it looks like a Y-block

 

yes on the steering wheel....it was really buried but with the bumper sticking out.....should have got that picture.....the kid is my great nephew.....my brother's kid's kid....no kids myself....lost most of the nephews to football.....and roller blades......at least they were all on the hunt with me.....

 

oh....yes...there was some Y-block stuff.....some bow tie stuff.....
