Totally agree with you that a preserved original car is much more interesting than a restoration, even a very high end restoration. With enough money you can make anything nice again but they are only original once. Congrats on your 62, that's my favorite year, 1st year of the 327 and last year of the C1's. The job Pat is doing on the RR is awesome, I love the effort put into trying to keep it as original as possible and results are stellar!!Outstanding work Pat. It's really cool to see how you are, as much as possible, keeping everything as original as you reasonably can. I think this will be a really cool car to display at shows and I'm sure it will attract a lot of attention.
My 1962 Corvette is an unrestored NCRS Top Flight car - so it has been judged to the highest standards while still having only had maintenance. This is a very rare thing when a car is that old. I find that many people are more interested in that than a totally restored car, because it has a story to tell, even with its warts and issues.
Anyway, carry on and thanks for taking us along with pictures!

I have really come to love finding and working on original unrestored cars. I think they are the most fun to drive. And I agree they do tell a much more interesting story.
I’m envious of your 62 corvette, one day I will come across the right C1 or C2;-)
Thank you!
Pat
