Default One Summer - One Corvette -14,000 Miles - One for the Books



Of all the stories I've come across of people bonding with their Corvettes, this one might be one of the most unique of them all.

Then again, the idea of putting 14,000 miles on any car over a summer is pretty interesting, which is why this Super Chevy report about Californian Dick Kvamme and his ’61 'Vette really grabbed my attention.

After going through a complete overhaul of the car with everything from a reworked ZZ4 350 GM crate engine to a premium audio system, the hot rodder and his wife managed to rack up 14,000 miles in the Corvette over a four-month span.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage.

You've got to drive them, just watch where. Latest example is the C7 in Alabama!
