Bill, your '67 Corvette is one I've always admired and it's very similar to your blue/blue Bow Tie car. I don't think this one is Bow Tie quality, but still a very original Corvette.

I'll pick up where Tim left off with cleaning the chassis of its past "orange" modification. My goal is to have this car at the Texas Regional in 2024 or 2025 and eventually Bloomington Gold. Tim was great to work with.

Congratulations Tim! Another Great car in Great hands to move it forward for the world to see. Bill

Not at all!!

I must admit a bit of remorse, as the car responded so well to all of the little things that were done. I have FOND memories of driving the car this summer. I logged almost 1500 miles on the car. Just a pleasure to drive.

Glad to see it's going to a great caretaker and a friend! Now I can focus on my injected 65 and get that ready to campaign in 2024.

Tim S. you almost got a text from Dave and I after a few barley sodas into a conversation about you selling this car. Dave deduced that it was going to Texas.....congratulations to both Tim's. Great car and great people.

Thank you, Jake. I was in Rockford right before MCACAN to see Joe Bonnamassa at the Coronado Theater with friends from High School. That theater was absolutley gorgous. We got a tour of it after the show from the lady that was chair of the revonation committee.
I have driven through Rockford hundreds of times going to school in Wisconsin and never knew the Coronado Theater was there.
