stored in a South Carolina barn for 44 years because the owner was fed up with people asking to buy this '59 Corvette fuelie. To spite them, he never drove it again, and died. Stupid? Yes.

The '59 has both tops, a Wonderbar radio, and came from the factory in St. Louis with the 290-horse fuel-injected 283.  The original engine was stored in a different barn on the 60 acre farm

Not just stored, but walled in so no one could see it either, and they peeled off the plywood (on the right side of the photo) from the H shaped framing, to get a photo of the as found condition.

Those are either 3 inch exhaust pipes, or ugly as hell tips
