Thanks for posting this up!
I very much remember this contest on VH1 and often wondered what ever happened the collection.

Damn.. That's hot. A '67 327 4spd is a dream car for me. What year/spec is that one? That body looks amazing in silver... Nearly had a '65 but it didn't work out (and probably saved me loads of money).

Hey if anyone just knows the NAME of a place that specializes in restoration of old corvettes as i'm looking to have things rebuilt...the car is matching #'s and want it to stay that way. If anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be HUGE.....want something more than just someone who knows how to work on chevy motors, heh.

I was watching one of those car auction shows that lasts 18297123 hours a few weekends ago. The numbers matching cars that got a lot of attention were the ones that remained UNrestored - "Survivors" they're called.

That said, don't go too crazy on it.
