At one point in its life, this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette was sold for $800. Two men each split the cost to acquire this car back in 1974, but now it’s destined to cross an auction block in Arizona for a far greater figure.
[PICS] MCACN 2015 – 1965 Big Tank Corvette Barn Find Restored
One of our favorite Corvettes from last month’s Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals was a fabulous 1965 365 hp black on black 1965 big tank coupe. You may not recognize it now, but it’s the same black on black big tank car we first brought you last summer from Bloomington Gold. Back then the car was shown in all of its unrestored glory. Years of rust, dirt, and grime covered every inch of the car.

Barn Find: 1961 Corvette from the Edmonton Hard Rock Cafe
Photo Credit: Hot Rod Corvettes seem to have a way of hanging around forever Рbut not always. Patrons of the Hard Rock Caf̩ in West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada back in the mid-1990s saw a red-with-white-coves 1961 Corvette hanging on the wall as a decoration.

The Annual Corvette Enthusiast’s Twas the Night Before Christmas 2015
Ever since we celebrated our first Christmas with our blog in 2005, we’ve posted a special Corvette version of Twas the Night Before Christmas. Over the last few years, our friend Rick Tavel from Corvetted.com has taken the poem one step further by customizing it so that it references the major Corvette-related events that occurred throughout the year.
