Default Anyone remember this Florida car?

Looking for more info on the 1967 L89 coupe. This car is Lynndale blue with Teal interior, power windows, M22 rock rusher dated PB709C, F41. It has a correct factory replaced L89, a 3916321 block cast dated J177.the car is neat has 21500 miles, original paint, interior, drives wonderful. Fantastic car. Have extensive paper from divorce of previous owner . The owner was Robert P Gorby who was a developer in St. Petersburg , Clearwater , Florida area. He had a 56 car collection, which this car is listed in the state of Florida certified paper. Took it to the Geneva , Illinois concourse show and had a Corvette guy say he remembered this car a a NCRS meet in Kissimmee , Florida in the 90s. This car came to Illinois in 2000. Mr Gorby was a SCCA, Challenge car, and vintage racer. Any info would be appreciated.

PUI is a terrible thing!

Maybe somebody should also point out the button that says "preview post". It's right next to the "submit" button.

Whoever bought it must have paid too much because they are clearly "upside down" in the car...

I presume that's tongue in cheek. But in case you have some strange computer glitch, they are upside down for the rest of us.

Flip your Ipad the other way. It should look like this:

Wow that car flipped that over....

It must be the famous Mach V from Speed Racer now dressed as a C2 !

Button A, Auto Jack (オートジャッキ Ōto Jakki?, Auto Jack): Releases four jacks to boost the car up so that it can be repaired. Although designed for this function, the auto jacks are more often used to jump the car short distances, as a wedge to keep the car from toppling over a waterfall, or as an alternative braking system. The spring-like sound the jacks make is distinctive to the show.
