Even the most discerning eBay connoisseur doesn’t expect to find a 61-year-old Corvette that might have been owned by Belgian royalty!

It's stated=(But even the most discerning eBay connoisseur doesn’t expect to find a 61-year-old Corvette that might have been owned by Belgian royalty!)

So I can also say I heard by others that Marlon Monroe (might) may have thrown up or farted in my 55 making it worth an extra 100K when I decide to sell it.
Why Not ???? YES

My Pops quit school in 10th grade, still can't spell for $hit. He's worth at least 7-8 million at 69 years old. Self made man and came from a poor family.

C1s do NOT have a "trim plate". The import tag is shown, but the photo is so poor, the chassis # is unreadable to me.

I haven't been to the C1 Registry recently, but the last time I was there, they seemed to be listed by, yup, chassis #! Should I just pick a white one?
