abandoned supercars

[David Glubrecht]

Just down the street from me is a 63 split window corvette, that is claimed to be a numbers matching fuele that has been parked outside for 25 years and it looks it, covered in moss etc.  This is the car, but I found the pic in the net.

and for Audi content, My $500 S1 replica racecar has had the rad moved to the trunk and did well in testing last fri at a track day.
