Abandonded Corvette collection

Even though vettes are not my thing you hate to see this happen.

I remember when that contest aired and a few of the Corvette enthusiast mags had a complete list of cars. I seem to recall that they were mostly smallblock/auto cars and even the '63 was a more common ragtop instead of the desirable split-window.

Back in 1989 the newest car was probably the most expensive car of the bunch, with the exception of the '53.

How can a person store/insure/maintain that many cars at one time?

They should take those cars and have Mr.Ts tow/crushing company pick them up and off to the crusher. Those vettes are not even the good years. Crush them!

The VH-1 contest supplied one Corvette from each year of production......1953 to 1989.

Which years were the good years?

BTW, what does scrap fibreglass go for nowadays?

53-70 and 80-82 those are the good ones. Cann't see the ultra fast fuel embargo 73-79s and certainly not the 84-89s lol, Lets take that fiberglass and make some electric cars.

Actually the 71-72 are the last of the chrome bumpers and are sought after, '73 only had a rear chrome bumper. 74 was the last year of the 454, if the '74 model has a 454, it would be sought after even though the hp is down.
Any year before that if it has a BB454 or 427 would be highly collectible, or any convertible. Actually 68-73 are my favorite years. I really kick myself for not getting an orange '73 vert with only 16k miles on it for $16k back about 10 years ago, its worth more than double that now.
