On July 1, a gentleman stopped by our offices and asked if I would be interested in buying a 1957 Corvette.  Upon asking the usual question, his comment of knowing about our Corvette Club back in the 1970's peaked my interest in his Corvette.  He said it was in a barn and had been "nailed in there" for over 35 years was the convincer that I had to go and LOOK. 

My brother Ken grabbed a Corvette Black Book and we jumped into my 1994 Corvette Brickyard Convertible and followed our guest to his barn.  That forty minute drive from our office had Ken and I talking like little boys awaiting Santa's arrival.  Would it be a FI car, dual carbs, perhaps an airbox RPO 684 Corvette, or........

When we arrived at the "site", we could not see a barn, just a driveway with weeds over chest high and an old path.  As we started walking down this 200  foot path, we finally saw a house, barn and a shed.  The seller informed us he had to get a pry bar in order to open the door.  After attempting to open the door, we also had to saw a tree down in order for the barn door to slide open.  Upon finally getting the door open this is what we saw!

Since my original post, I have received several requests for more details and photos.  The 1957 Corvette Band Find was one of the most popular displays at Corvettte Funfest 2010, and will become a permanent display in our MY Garage Museum and Retail Store in the near future.
