I recently bought a house at a tax sale. The matriarch passed away, and the kids smoked crack, drank hundreds of bottles of liquor and let their young children live in squalor while steadily hoarding junk in all the rooms until they were filled to the ceiling. In the garage, covered in so much trash you could not see it, was a T-top orange Corvette Stingray under a car cover and in pretty good shape.
>>
Give it a good cleaning, make sure the T-tops don't leak, tune it up and give it the life it never had.

Engine bay wasn't too rusty. Based on the plates, the last time it was driven was 1989, I imagine that it has sat there for at least two decades. But the doors function perfectly, as does the hood and seat adjustments.

The 40yrd dumpster is currently blocking the drive, and a rigged a thick steel cable and a padlock to secure the garage. I will tow it the fuck away from the crazy crackheads at the first opportunity.
I have already had offers to buy it from a family friend, but I am sorely tempted to at least get it running and cruise around a little bit before I do. I don;t have a lot of money right now, tax sale houses have to be paid cash the day you buy them. However, I think if I get it that far, I will grow attached and never sell it. I secretly love the thing, the gauges, the body style, the fact I got it for free all make we want to restore it.

No, the keys are in it, and the tax foreclosure law says that everything on the property is fine. Quite a few nice antiques in the house under the shit, silver dollars, silver plates etc. Cars aren't covered under that because its a titled entity. However, due to it being abandoned, and the crackheads being insane, I think I may be able to get away with a quiet title, they won't know anything about the process. The crackheads got a call from a neighbor, called the police on me, the police of course sided with me, and the kids got nervous and left.

I'm not *super* knowledgeable on these but I'll tell you what I know from these pictures.

Your Stingray is an early C3 and looks to be completely stock. 327 was an option on the early models, and judging from the wheels and logs, probably a 69 or 70, which makes it worth some money. 327 was a good motor too and there's a lot of parts for them.

Auto trans is not necessarily a bad thing probably going to be a TH350 or a Turbo 350. Check to see if the car is numbers matching it will have VIN numbers on the trans, the engine block and on parts of the engine bay.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say your car does not have factory air conditioning, or the system was removed at some point, but that's an easy retrofit.

The big plus here with your car, is that it's a highly desirable generation of Vette and that means lots of parts and stuff to fix it up and bring it back to its former glory.
>>
>>17584856
Plz
>>
>>17584861

just saw that it is a 350, but check those numbers to make sure it's not a 327 anyway, either way you're good to go with both motors but they look similar. 350 means unlimited aftermarket

>>17584856

Figure out the year, if it was made after 71 it takes unleaded.

There's very little hope you're just going to gas it up and fire it right up though. At the very least the old gas in the tank is going to need drained.
>>
another thing to watch for with stingrays is the bodies are fiberglass, but the frames are steel. Take a close look at the frame because it's common for them to be completely rotted in sections, but the body will look fine.

Also the brake calipers are steel sleeves, not o-ring style, and are almost certainly rusted out after sitting that long.
>>

>I also assume since Corvettes are so beloved that replacement parts will be easy to come by.

Yeah...they're easy to come by, but definitely not cheap.

What an interesting story you'd think the crackheads would have sold some of the junk to pay the taxes before it went to sheriff sale. What kind of a story did you put together on the fall of the house as you went through the strata?

As for the 'Vette, siphon all the gas out of the tank and empty all the other fluids looking for any suspicious materials. Replace all fluids. Put it in neutral and attempt to turn the engine by hand to see if it still moves freely, maybe with a vice grip for leverage. If it does, fill up the fuel bowls in the carburetor with some nice high octane gas (and some in the tank, maybe along with some fuel conditioning enzyme) , spray some starting fluid down its neck, hook it to some jumper cables, say a short prayer and try to turn it over. If it starts and manages to get fuel from the tank to keep running put it in gear and roll it back and forth in the driveway a few times. See if the brakes are frozen up or anything. See how the power steering sounds. If that's all good take it and get some tires put on it. It'll cost over $100 even for used tires aka double+ the cost of everything else, possibly even including a new battery but by that point when you've got it driveable and on the road you probably will be hype enough to be willing to triple your investment at that point and tires are an absolute necessity. Don't take it for long high speed drives for a while to see if you'll need to replace the radiator hoses too. Rubber decomposes fairly fast in relative car terms.

Infinite procrastination. I suppose it's good something was done before they just rotted to dust in there. A similar thing is in the process of happening right now round the corner from me in a house where I delivered the paper to a perfectly sweet old lady with ground down stubs for teeth. Her coke head grandson has sublet it to his dealer but the cops I chatted up while they were staking it out said it was about to be taken for delinquent taxes.

Here is what I think happened. The owner, a elderly woman, was living happily in the house she owned since 1949 when it was built spent thousands of dollars putting in a barrier free tile shower, handicap toilet, grab bars, air conditioning and other improvements as recently as 4 years ago. Surrounded by dozens of pieces of fine antique furniture, and porcelain figures I pray she was happy. She volunteered at Red Cross for 40 years (found an award.) She passed away. Her grandchildren? or some family friends or something moved in and promptly started smoking crack, abusing children, hoarding junk, not paying the taxes, not paying the utility bills, selling her jewelry, most of her silver cutlery, anything their crack-addled brains could find. They did no maintenance, ignored the certified mail saying PAY UR TAXES OR ELSE and so I bought it for cheap, because the trash scared away most other buyers.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

Assuming there was nothing wrong with it when parked he should be able to get it running in a day.

>>17585091
>Just 4 years
Wow that's pretty fast for tax auction but it was probably a nuisance and it's possible she was behind on the taxes when she died, maybe without a will. You have to wonder why the vette got parked, maybe when her husband died. If you do get it on the road you should put a small token to them somewhere in it even if it's under the hood - for luck.
>>
>>17585115
>Assuming there was nothing wrong with it when parked he should be able to get it running in a day.

He said the last time It's been on the road has been 89. There's no way in hell you're getting it running in a day, even if there's "nothing wrong with it."

More than likely, there is something seriously wrong with it, that's why it was parked 89 and never moved again.
>>
>>17585131
Not necessarily, maybe her husband parked it and then died. Seems pretty likely since according to op she was a widower.
>>
>>17585142

If there was nothing wrong with it when it was parked, there absolutely is a lot wrong with it now after 25+ years of just sitting there.
>>
>>17585131
I think it's more likely that the old lady's husband died and she just didn't drive or didn't care enough to touch it. A lot of times that happens - my great grandmother hasn't touched my great grandfather's basement workbench and it's been over 20 years since he died.

This years tax auction had ~ 1000 properties. I originally wanted to find a place to live for a while, but the area I wanted is a hot market, and $115/sqft+ was common. So, during the live auction, I decided to switch tactics and look in a few other areas. I had spent the preceding weeks driving all over the place and looking at potential homes, so I had a good idea about what each house had to offer. This house is in surburbia, the homes around it are $250k to $310, with a few shitty ones as well. This house sold for ~$30/sqft and because it is so old, on a much bigger lot than nearby houses.
>>17585115
It only two years of unpaid taxes for the County Treasurer to be legally required to auction off your house. They offer payment plans, and send lots of certified letters but if its all ignored, then he is required by law to sell it.
>>
>>17585156
>$250k to $310
Where do people get that kind of money? Having lived in Smalltown Americaâ„¢ all my life, where houses average in the $140-170k range, I don't get how people afford those prices. It's not like they're giving away well-paying jobs.

Well you have to get a good job, then move to a good area. Of course, in a good area, the price of everything goes way up, and even thought you got a degree and a good job, you end up living relatively the same as some factory worker in rural ohio does.

You might be living in a house the same size, but you're not in fucking rural Ohio. People get degrees so they can leave places like that.

That is probably your best bet. Get your 'family friend' to help you clean the crap out the fuel system and check/replace the tires/brakes/oil, and enjoy the shit out of your old classic before selling it for the money you need.

Maybe make it a project, or see if the guy who wants it will let you help restore it in exchange for the rights to drive it somtimes.

So it is officially a 1972 Corvette Stingray, last registered in 1989, with all matching VINs. I found the original manual and sales receipt in the house. He traded in a 1969 Mustang for credit, bought it at a dealership that is still open.
I have arranged for a tow truck tomorrow, I explained the situation to the driver, and he's confident he can transport it without damage. Once it is at a safe location, I will follow various anons advice and try to get it running. I also found over a hundred pieces of gold and platnium trimmed China. One set in particular is beautiful.

Is there a china hutch or would you have already chucked everything that size because it's invariably busted?

>Trading in a three year old Mach I for a C3
Sounds like that old man was probably ballin' back then but a bad decision in hindsight. You should search the VIN on the Mustang see if it's still alive too.

The China was carefully stored in boxes in the attic, it is in pristine condition.
The mustang VIN was on the sale receipt, so maybe I can track it down.
>>17589841
It wasn't DOHC, and had been in an accident. Only 80k miles tho.

Here in PDX they bought a small ranch style house across the street from my parents house for ~$420,000, tore it down in a day and are now building a bigger house on the plot. That's the 3rd time on our block alone

I'm phone posting right now, but once I get home and can lay it out and cataloug I will. Found some 1935 series A bills with HAWAII stamped across the back in huge letters, I think those could be worth something too

What denominations? Silver certificates? I bought one of the $1 Silver certificates for like $30-$40. They're neat, but not super rare.

For those that don't know what we're talking about, all the money in Hawaii was overstamped with HAWAII during WWII so if Japan invaded they couldn't use the money in the mainland and/or try to crash the economy.

I had no idea what they were. Thanks for the info. There are eight $1 bills. They are silver certificates. A fantastic piece of history, I think I will keep a few of the nicer ones

Yeah, it's worth a few bucks in that condition. It's pretty well used.

>>17590311
I know some dolls can be worth some big bucks.
>>17590319
Yes, but it's not much gold. Maybe a few cents worth.

Yup, it WAS a Mach 1. Would have been a nicer thing to find than the C3 but can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
