----Tim,,,As we all know the opening day of some of the Chevrolets was late. At that time I was in Massachusetts to take my physical to go in to the army. I went to the final physical and they turned me down (1Y). I was honestly relieved. I had been working in Florida and doing pretty well. To add to the equation, about three months before I had lost my 67 Vette 327/350 with AC to thieves so I had the cash and started looking for a car. At a local dealership I found 7 brand new Corvettes. 3 were LT1s. I chose a Daytona yellow 'vert with tilt column and deluxe interior, the only one with both those options, and drove back to Florida. Within a month I knew I couldn't take the yellow and to add to that it was a very poor factory paint job. Long story short, I painted it a custom maroon and did a couple of custom touches.
----Literally years later (probably) I was back in Fla. visiting (around 1992/3) and he told me my old car was right around the corner at another body shop. Went to look at it and they were in the middle of returning it to stock. I lost rack of it after that.....Bill S
