Looks like the front fender gills are gone, very clean! A racer needs the turn signals shaved next.

The other 14 Corvettes I've owned were anywhere from 2 to 15 years but never had less than 2 in my garage.

Jim:

I sold my '60 35 years ago in CA. It doesn't happen to be VIN#00062?

My 62 I've owned since 03,an ex drag car made into a show car that I put around 4,000 miles a year on.
2010 Corvette Grand Sport,owned since January 2010.I picked it up at the Corvette Museum but tend to favor taking the 62 most the time.
