Thank you everyone for your continued suggestions and idea's. I really appreciate your sharing. I want to do this once and do it right. That's why I ask a lot of questions.
Don, yes, the future '57 I hope to purchase, has to be done and done correctly. Absolutely no project cars. I would pull the drive train so I know it's silly to want the original still in the car, but that is what I want. If the car is done up real nice, I could be flexible on this. I want the body and interior completely stock. No modifications. No cutting. No alterations. The car also has to be a 4d hardtop; no post. I really like that model a lot. I would also consider a similar '56 4d hardtop if it was the right one. There are several out there. More then I thought. Only limited by your desire, enthusiasm and money.
I originally had 7 cars. Sold 2 and gave 1 to my oldest son. I really do have to sell one-two cars for the space and I just can't keep up with everything. I'm pretty sure I would part with my '56 straight axle gasser. A few people have an interest in it. I have a C6 Corvette convertible that I bought brand new in '06. Has about 16,000 miles on it. Always garaged, covered and well kept. This year I put 47 miles on it. Pathetic, isn't it. If I was smart, which I'm not, I should probably sell this one also while it has a decent value. My '71 GTO, I like this car, but sometimes I feel like putting it out front with For Sale signs on it and see what happens. That leaves my old buddy, my '62 409. I'm keeping this car until death do us part. My kids can fight over this one, Carmine.
