The Corvette sounds kind of like a keeper. Congratulations, Bob!

Yes David it is. It's all original except for the paint, tires and usual wear items. I painted the car for a friend in 1972 using Dupont Acrylic Lacquer which is still on the car. Every mechanical part on the car is original and it has 94,000 miles.

PIC My 63 stayed home.

I hear you Bob. My one owner 63 stayed home as we are both too old for 6,000 mile round trip on 66. Plus, 12 mpg on premium and no A/C were also factors.

Traveled a good part of it back in 1970 but with the completion of

Interstates the trip to Cal became much faster

Watched it all the time back then. One reason I drove much of it in 1970
