----Well,,,,,In the spirit of admitting to a whopper of a mistake I will elaborate. I bought a 69 L-88 Corvette convertible with somewhere around 4000 original miles in 1971-72. The car was flawless. It was Monaco Orange, with black leather. It had been treated to a very big HP boost as well over top of just normal L-88 numbers, but no body modifications. After a minor altercation to the rear end between the bumpers, I (I'm admitting my guilt) decided to strip it and paint it black. The Boston Autorama was in my sights and I also had a black 32 highboy with a Buick nailhead in it that I wanted to have in the same booth. You can see what I was getting at, can't you? Well,,, I can't. Absolutely have no idea what was running through my head. I take the blame! I'm guilty. Apparently I didn't like the coolest color Chevrolet had on their pallet in 69 and decided all on my own to desecrate an icon. I think I'll go to bed now. This admission has worn me out...….BillS
