Default OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: First-Rate Retirement Gift



This week's Corvette of the Week comes from "dahogan" who says this Silver Pearl 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray L79 Coupe was a retirement gift to himself.

Truth be told, dahogan didn't actually retire, but I can't blame him for coining this car his retirement gift. Calling this car a retirement gift paints a more colorful picture of what this '66 Sting Ray represents.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage.

Beautiful car! Yeah, I cheated also and bought mine 2 years before retirement so I guess you could call it an "early" retirement gift.
