Famous Set Of 36 Corvettes To Be Restored, Auctioned In The US

A complete ‘set’ of Chevrolet Corvettes, languishing for years in a warehouse in New York, will be given a new lease on life, each to be restored and then auctioned.

The collection comprises a Corvette from each year since the model’s debut in 1953 right through to 1989 - 36 cars in total.

But Corvette fans have been seething for years about the neglected collection, which was known to have been sitting idle for decades under a thick layer of dust.

Now, The New York Times reports a buyer by the name of Peter Heller has acquired the collection for an undisclosed amount.

Mr Heller, along with his two sons Adam and Mike, and cousin Scott Heller, intend to restore the 36 classics to their former glory.
