Junkyard Find: 1985 Chevrolet Corvette

Still, it's pretty rare that I find a C4 at a cheap self-service wrecking yard; most of the examples I run across are melty-fiberglass burn victims, and the remainder have been picked clean. Here's one of the latter type, discovered a few months back in Northern California.

That means that a Corvette must be rough indeed to make it past the auction process and into the hands of a junkyard's buyer.
