Default 100K club

A few summers ago I acquired a 69 coupe. It's a fully loaded L-48 auto and with 88K on the meter. The past few winters I made the car into what I wanted. Upgraded the A/C system, rebuilt the brakes, sorted out the interior, O/D trans, a few suspension mods and this past winter replaced the anemic L-48 to a 427 SBC. I truly enjoy driving this auto and drive it from when the salt season is over to the next. It's nimble, stops well and accelerates nicely along with bring home the car show trophies. I'm proud of the fact that the car has over 100K on it. Now if it was a Mercedes you can get a badge to display proudly on your front grill the 100K, 250K, 500K. I'd like to show off that also but haven't been able to find any such badging for the Corvettes. T

Two summers ago I pulled over to the curb on a city street to take this photo.

The badges maybe should have the crossed flags and 100K on it. 2" diameter.
Maybe different colors for different mileage, silver, gold, then platinum.
When I acquired this Vette it was in poor mechanical shape. The engine was weak and leaking, trans leaked, barely had brakes, the suspensions and steering were sloppy and the chairs were shot. As my budget allowed things got sorted out. Now it's ready for a cross country trip.
If time allows I'd like to put another 100K on it. T

My NOM Pace Car has over 100k on it. The drivetrain has under 2k, though. Pretty much everything that hits the road, other than the front suspension, which will hopefully change before too long.
