Calling All Corvette Experts

One that was in the Special Collection last year is a small block that you note the story of above. Another is the export King of Belgium big block roadster that was in the Special Collection two years ago. It's a very pretty 390 horse automatic. I used to see it at Road America over the years and finally talked with the owner. Quite an interesting story, there are some great pictures of it in Belgium when it was new. Of course, the King of Belgium probably had some pull with Chevrolet.
A collector in Illinois has a high option big block I've never seen.
