Thanks for the kind words guys. Just to show how much I like this car, I'll offer this.......
I think some of you are familiar with some of the cars I have / do own personally. The same could be said for my Dad as well. The fact of the matter is, my Dad owned this car. He and I both are smitten with the car. I took it back from him as I found him a 17,000 mile L79 Corvette roadster. I gladly took this car back as I had (and still do) miss the Harry Mann L78 / L88 car that Paul has. This car is THAT nice IMO. I purchased to smog from Bill Hodel due to the fact I was going to hang onto this car. What has changed as I have had a 66 Corvette L72 (very original and highly awarded) car drop into my crosshairs. As some of you know, these Corvette's run deep with my family. I only have so much room for personal cars, so something (unfortunately) has to go. Just a little sidebar to the conversation at hand and a peek into my head Tim |

Factory knock off car (with all 5 wheels), factory gold line car, tele column, radio delete, 3.08 posi., HD suspension. The body and the patina is just to die for. I was bidding on the car at a Mecum auction about 10 years ago (Proteam won out). Was seriously in love with it then. When I saw the car again, I was to say the least......."in heat" I have been on a streak of finding some really killer cars as of late. Frankly, I could find a reason to keep them ALL! You guys will see a couple of others I have found, as I'll post them here first before going about my ways. Once I get the 66, I'll get familiar with it, photograph the car, and give it to Bruce. It's honestly been years since I have been this excited about a car! Tim |

Wow Tim, I’m partial to Island Teal but Grotto looks fantastic as well! The interior of this car is identical to mine, even down to the Sun gauges and I added a period Sun tach shortly after getting it from you. The idle on your car sounds fantastic as well. GLWTS.
