RMVette

This may not seem like a big deal to most but I thought I'd share. I found the sweepstakes from a Boy's Life magazine from 1972 that started my interest in Corvettes. I entered and felt sure I'd win and would be the only 15 year old in the neighborhood that owned a car...much less a Corvette! Of course I didn't win but it sure made me want one even more. I wonder who won and where the car is now? See two pages from the magazine below:





After I found it online I searched e-Bay and found the Boy's Life that had the sweepstakes and bought it to frame for the garage.

Do you have a 72?

Actually I have a '70.

Very cool - I remember the Rupp Roadster 2nd prize minibike too.

Of course I wonder who DID win the car, and if it is still "alive" today.
Very unique paint scheme. I like it!

It would be interesting to find out or if it was really awarded!

Just how would the typical 15 year old pay for the 'local, state, and federal taxes, if any?'

The winner's dad probably bought the kid a sony walkman and atari video game and traded it for the vette

I had one of those Rupp Roadster II's! Green one...sold it and another minibike to the local motorcycle dealer for $200 after I started driving. Always wish I'd kept it...they get big $$ today
