  Saw this article on another forum. Pretty good history of the collection. They've also been moved again.   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/automobiles/collectibles/14corvette.html

I read this too. I hope that he finishes the project now. Especially since he has a new vision on how the cars should look.

  Yeah, sounds like he backed off somewhat from of his original plan for the traditional 'Peter Max ' psychedelic paint jobs. They might have looked cool but really trashed some fine, vintage Vettes. Maybe he would trade them for a bunch of VW Bugs and Buses! LOL

He's still going to paint them though.  What a shame.  It's a pretty famous collection - wish he would donate it to the NCM.

My bet is he ain't gonna do SQUAT with them, except sell the entire group.
Just another tease from a looser dude that prolly needs some major $$$.

  Can you imagine what would be involved in getting those 36 Vettes in that shape ready to paint? That in itself would be a major undertaking...and the amount of money it would take! I'm wid you, Joel. At 73 years old, he ain't likely to do anything but let them keep decaying or sell them, which he should do.(sell them, that is) Thumbs Up  I got a VW bus I'd trade him for that "53.

I found a thread yesterday on digitalcorvettes (posted 2/13/2010) that they were found again...

Honestly I'm not at all familiar with Peter Max.  I guess I should do a search to find out just who he is.  The cars are rough... I wish I could rescue every last one of them.

After all these years I liken these vettes to be the mother load of barn finds. (at least their condition represents that...)

I read it on DG and noticed that it was contingent on a business partner investment.

Ohhh to have been the original dude who won these vettes in the radio station giveaway..... D-A-M-N!!!
