To say the 1963 Corvette Stingray Splitwindow coupe is desirable would be a staggering understatement, but Google Streetview has spotted one abandoned and rotting away beneath a tree in Spokane, Washington.

We came this close to pushing the big red button, deploying the emergency Jalopnik search and rescue team to recover this poor, neglected split-window, but it's apparently not up for sale. Instead, we're sitting here lusting after an oxidized heap anyway. Doesn't this owner know there are gearheads in Detroit starving for Stingrays? Yes, it's in a rough state, but just imagine dropping a freshly rebuilt 327 in this car and cruising it around as-is — it would be the ultimate rat-rod.
