original owner came to the 2011 show and had a great time!

So did I!

He has not seen the car for years.

He brought his daughter that told me she had pictures of it when it when it was new (he gave to her back when she was little). He invited me and my wife to go through shoe boxes and albums of pictures at his home when we vist this spring.

Many thanks to steve for getting me in the Vintage display. It was the reason I got him to come.

he wore a hat that matched the car

and showed me how he had to trim the wheel wells ever so slightly to run H60 15 when it was new.

sam, I already have some pictures of the day2 look from the second owner, he pretty much did nothing to the car when he got it in 74, and put in a barn of his. I should scan them. wisconsin corn in the background.

It is all day 2 under the hood still. has the corvette 15 x 8 still on it in back. just need the H 60 15s tires. I still have an old set that was on the car. glasspacks under it still.

Hey Bob, what is the pulley below the alternator?

The extra idler, keeps the belt in place at high rpm.

That is an after market piece, right Keith?
