Congratulations, you now own a classic car!

That's a sweet car. I bet it's worth more than 10K if it gets a little more restoration work. Kind of a nice retirement project to get handed to you.
 
I've restored many older corvettes, 1972 and older, what we call bumper cars. By the looks of his car from the photos that car looks in great shape and is worth way more than $10K. He's definitely got a rabbit's foot in his pocket.:applause:
 
It will be interesting to see how he handles the paper work to prove ownership. NY back then was not a title state and you needed the original registration to transfer ownership. Being that it wasn't a title state, that made it easy for that car to be sold time and again. How he will acquire a title today will be a difficult thing until the stolen car records are all cleared out of the computers. I lost a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 back in 1973 and reported it stolen. A few years ago, I asked a State Patrolman that I knew to run the serial number and nothing came back. It didn't even show up as being stolen, so I know that I will never see that car again. Junk

Before anyone has a chance to say whats on their minds, I know Junk is a model Connecticut citizen .... and national patriot ....

and would NEVER lose sumpin and then report it stolen. Not even a Chevy.
:yum:
 
I have a good idea of who stole the car, and I also believe that it was cut up for its parts and the drive line went into something else. Back when it happened in 1973, the car wasn't worth much, and since I had only paid $500 for it, I didn't really care that much about it. I used the word "lost" in its broadest form to reflect the meaning of "stolen". My apologies if you couldn't grasp the meaning of what I had posted. :yum: I didn't misplace the car...... it was locked up in my fenced yard.
