I am looking anyone from the Rochester NY area or Dover/York Pa area that may remember a white 1962 Fuel Injected Corvette. The car sold new at Heinrich Chevrolet in Rochester NY.
Sold new to a Charles Leone of the Rochester NY area. (Drag Raced at Spencer Speedway Williamson NY) The car in the first year had red stripes painted over the top of the white paint from front to back. For a short time it had "El Diablo" on the rear. The 2nd owners name was Phillip Fridley who bought the car roughly late 1962 early 1963 kept the car till sometime 64 traded the car in at the ford dealer in Rochester.
The car came into Pennsylvania in March of 1965. The car spent most of its life in around Dover/York Pa at least from late 1960s to 2016 (maybe since 1965). Car was owned by a Charles Jacobs from 1973 to 2016 of the Dover, Pa area. He bought the car in 1973 (already painted red) with 18K miles from an unknown gentlemen who worked at West Motor Freight Corp in that Dover/York area. I believe the car was owned before that by a gentlemen named Ashley Spangler who owned/ran a grocery store in the Dover PA area. Charles had the car repainted Roman red Lacquer in 1983 and the car still retains that paint today. When he sold the car in 2016 that car only had 27K miles on the car. So I am looking for info on the car from 1962 to 1973??? Any guys from either of these two areas or know of anyone from these areas back in the day that maybe able to help put the early years of this cars life together please pass it along.
