I saw them!!!
I don't know if I should be happy or mad, but it certainly was a sad sight
My son lives in Brooklyn and when I told him about this forgotten collection of vettes, he told me a friend of his lives in an apartment where they are stored.
So last Saturday we went and looked at them.
Anyone can just walk in this parking garage and see them. I took a few pictures and here are 3 to show how sad it is.





If anyone lives or visits Brooklyn and would like the address, send me a PM.

There is another thread on this forum somewhere that explains the history and has a link to another story with more pictures, if you are interested.

Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
Here's my question :  how restorable are they ?
 
Assuming there's no rust;
1)cleaning
2)rebuild engine
3)paint
 
Maybe 10-15k per car for the restoration ??? Am I missing something ?
