Hot Rods Garage find

Still looking for any information on this 34 coupe I bought. Built in California in the early 60s as a show car. Almost everything underneath is chrome plated. 1957 Corvette 283, t-10 4 speed, Olds. rear end. Has been sitting 30-40 years. I’m slowly getting the paint cleaned up the best I can.

 

No info, but sure is a nice find!

 

WOW, I have found a TON of garages ... never anything useful in them though

That is terrific find

 

Congratulations on saving a lost hot rod. HRP

 

Wow that’s cool!

 

Great car. What more could you ask for?

 

I felt very lucky to be able to buy it. I got it running, engine sounds great. The body is in mint condition, no patch work ever and definitely a high quality build. It’s a shame it wasn’t stored under better conditions but it’s got lots of patina now.

 

It is something special and with those dual carbs can really move!

 

That’s a dream find. Glad for ya.

 

Very cool find

 

Like, groovy man.

 

It's hard to believe that tire holds air. Cool car. I would put whitewalls back on it like it has now.

 

Even the license plate indicates it’s a SURvivor!!

 

Nice!!!!!!

 

That's a nice car. Before we go any further, I'll offer you $1500 more than you paid for it.
I won't even report your profit to the IRS.
If you note a helicopter hovering around your neighborhood with a cargo net, that's me, just in case.

 

What a neat car..a lot to like there.

 

nice find, think I saw that listed on Instagram . a few days back.... cool old Hot Rod

Link to your other thread. MORE PICS.

I knew that car looked familiar.

What's the plan, I know you're looking for history on it. Buff that old paint up and get some shine on it.

 

That’s what I’ve been doing

 

Lookin Good.

 

Congrats.

 

nice color..have fun fun fun...

 

No help on the history but I did have to do a double take. My old 34

 

How about consolidating both your posts into one?

 

That sure looks like early 70s -mid 60s style. Some of the parts listed on the papers that I've never heard of. ' 59 engine maybe built in '60?

 

The engine is actually a 1957. I looked up the numbers on the right front of the block. I’m guessing who ever wrote all that down made a 9 instead of a 7

 

SWEEEEEET LOVE IT I have to start looking in more barns

 

It doesn’t get much better !
