    I know it sucks that it laid in a state of neglect but ya gotta pay mind to the times. When gas went nuts in the '75, these cars werent worth nothing. It probably didnt make it to the scrapper because of the fiberglass body. Im just greatful its still around and hope that it ends up being owned by anyone other than a collector or museum.

    Just a small tip that I found works well. Paint that sits outside expanding and contracting is easier to clean if you use a steamer slightly to expand the paint then scrub it. It will help get those permanent type stuff from the moss and it will mostly come off. Good job with the detail

    That's easy, they don't want to sell them because they are emotionally attached but regrettably that part of their life is over or it is not once again time. Then one of the married couple dies. The remaining partner has not the expertise to maintain the car but now they have an emotional attachment to the car whom the deceased owner loved so much. Then they die and the kids have no clue what has been left behind. There lives are on the treadmill of life. So the car sits and sits with all those memories trapped inside.

    First off. Nice work on the Vette. Had to be bitter sweet seeing its before and after state knowing what 'could have been' had they taken just a little bit of care of it. Rescued a farm field stored Suburban (99) from WA. What a mess but, fortunately, nothing like this one. After removing carpet, treated the floor pan inside and out for rust finalizing with POR-15 which I used after addressing all the rust issues on the body and doors, replacing fenders etc. Spot paint until I was ready for an entire spray job. New Carpet as well. Sometimes you just have to say 'when.' Came out real nice until T-Boned by a red light runner....RIP

    My neighbor almost has the same exact car except his is red with side pipes. But it is a big block with a four-speed. He is basically letting the car rot away and his driveway. People are always knocking on his door wanting to buy the car and he won't sell it. And 16 years he's painted the car twice. That's what he does for a living except he repairs and paints big trucks tractors and such. He gets excited about getting the car out and driving and we even hit Corvette events so he could buy things that's missing. All he does with all the stuff just put it either in the trunk of the car or in his garage where they will never be found again. You really did a hell of a job on this car. You did scared of living hell out of me when you started talking in the middle of power washing about the door not shutting it again. It just took me by surprise that you started speaking. I hope the owner of this car appreciate what he has. I hope he does not let it sit again and rot away. Cars like this are not meant to sit in a driveway or under a tree.

    @Greg Cummings Not sure what you mean by bird cage. Although I appreciate the hard work by the detailer, I think all the effort on the exterior aside from cleaning is a total waste. Is anyone not going to notice huge paint chips on the hood, etc. Car needs to be stripped and repainted, given its value I would guess this is headed to paint shop soon so why waste effort on a finish that is going to be stripped? As far as engine, it would be interesting to see if with fluid changes and a tune up if car would move. An educated guess is brakes and steering likely not safe to drive, not to mention frame could be severely damaged by rust. That said I am guessing this cleaning added thousands to value of car as it is sitting, especially if it could be driven. Thanks for posting.

    Having grown up in Seattle I know from first hand experience that it is perpetually damp up there. Nothing ever fully dries out and moss and algae are everywhere.

You did a great job cleaning it up but I agree that a full restoration and repaint would be in order.

    That paint damage is called pinching it's caused from the paint heating up in the sun and the algae gets into the pores of the paint then the paint cools and pinches the algae into the paint, you can reduce the damage caused by this by using a steamer on those spots and wiping the algae out with a towel before paint correction
