----A gas station owner just over the bridge from NY to NJ called me out of the blue to ask weather I would sell him my 67 427 white on white Corvette coupe. I said I wasn't interested but he persisted. Later he tried to sweeten the deal by telling me he knew where this piece of history was and that it could be bought. Believe it or not he had no interest in this 65. I made no promises, but said "give me the info and we will see where this goes". I didn't have the money but had been doing work for Richard Buxbaum in Ft Liquerdale, so I called him and he said "get your butt up there and make the deal", which I did. Shortly after that I moved to Hinsdale and started managing the shop end of Classic Motors and basicly that's the end of the story. In the process of moving I lost the station owners info and couldn't track him back down to even thank him. My absolutely best find ever!!!...…Bill S
