Oxymoron? A friend of mine came from a well to do family. His father had bought a new vette in 73 I guess as a mid life crisis fun toy. His brother now owns the car. He is well off and owns the car. He's a bit of a recluse, single, not a car guy, doesn't really car nor use the car and has decided to sell it...along with the 1937 mahogany Chris Craft that was his dad's. He plans on moving to Florida. The vette has always been in the family, always adult owned and driven. The car has been sitting for about 5 years or so. My friend's brother never drove it that much. What I do know it's a L48 350 and four speed car. It's all original, never modified. It was maintained as far as oil changes, brakes, tires and usual maintenance stuff. I realize from sitting it may very well need brake lines and so on. Now I need another car in my driveway like I need a hole in the head or colonoscopy. BUT my friend's brother wants $2000! So I'm thinking I should be the guy to get a barn find cheap and flip it. I'm guessing it could fetch about $5K. It ran 5 years ago, it should run now as long as the block isn't cracked from freezing. My friend talks about the car but he's not interested in it but would like to see the car driven instead of sitting.

I do plan on taking a boat load (pun intended) of the Chris Craft and posting them.
