1966, "just this one"
37 years, "tomorrow as a matter of fact"
I'm the 4th owner
The original owner purchased it here in Redding, California and it never left


This car was a good driver until i did this, in/around the 80's and sat like this until 5 years ago.



Bringing Car Home My kids helped put body on frame.

1966 Roadster L79 327/350 Bought 1970 Owned 41 + years

May be the only midyear corvette to travel to all 48 states in one trip , done sole by me (I was really silly) covered almost 20,000 miles in 90 days 8/02/10 to 10/29/10 in modern times

With original engine drive train 250,000 + miles or more

I am the second owner , I bought the car from a Naval Pilot , his wings are still on my glove box as he left them, also with a decal on the vent window. The car was sold at the dealer in Pensacola , FL. to a naval ensign. I bought it from him in NY.
