    Default Abandoned Corvettes

    These photos are of scads of abandoned Corvettes some of which are very rare. This brings up several interesting questions. Who would abandon such valuable automobiles and who do they belong to now? Perhaps the most important question is: How do I get to where they are now?

    There has got to be a story behind these. There are some high dollar cars in that group. Anyone have more information?

    You are correct and here is the story.

    In 1989, VH1 gave away 36 vintage Corvettes in a contest. The winner sold those cars to artist Peter Max, who let them rot in a Brooklyn parking garage for twenty years. The cars recently disappeared. This is their story.
