Great looking car and glad to hear he's spreading the enjoyment around by driving it. Is that you in the passenger seat?

I'm pretty good when it comes to cars(ASE Master tech)... Ed handed me a mirror and a magnifying glass and flashlight and I couldn't find a single flaw in his car!!!

There is a guy in the area you speak of named Bob Ruth who is retired but his son runs the business "Ruth Corvette" that his dad had for many years on the west side of Cleveland. He was the "corvette man" of the area

Maybe you could send that picture to them.

I met him last June at the show at Roscoe Village in Coshocton, OH. He and his wife were showing the car there and it was such a beauty that I couldn't pass it by without finding out more. Probably spent ten or fifteen minutes with him and really enjoyed our talk.
