Default Race68 Magazine Article

Yesterday's mail brought me my March 2009 issue of Corvette Magazine and inside on page 57 was the best Christmas present. It was a 5-page spread on my 1968 Road Race Inspired vette. As many of you know this car was built by Stan Chorianopoulos at 2nd Generation Automotive Restorations. I have only had a chance to put about 80 miles on this car since I have owned it but it is an awesome car. I will be taking it to the Hershey Hill Climb this coming year.

Anyway, here are some pics of the article from Issue #47 (sorry for the poor pics but I was very excited!!!)

I read that article yesterday I have been up to Stan's shop. Top notch. You've got a great car there. Glad to see the large Corvette mags are giving his shop some exposure.

I saw the car in person at Carlisle and the pictures don't do it justice. Congradulations to you and Stan on the article. Your car is a terror. Enjoy!

Congrats to Stan for getting the publicity he deserves, and to Wayne for being the right guy at the right time and place to buy it from Stan. That is a spectacular car, and trust me, it is no trailer queen. I would like to be in it at a light on friday night next to some Dodge neon with a fart pipe! I wondered why I haven't seen it on the magazine yet, and was afraid I missed it. Thanks for posting! Happy new year to all!!

Stan, don't know how I missed it, but I didn't know you sold that car. Must have been hard but congrats to you and the new owner on more well deserved publicity. I gotta get over to the book store.

Stan builds one hell of a vintage racer. I personally think it should have made the cover, but I am a little bias!!! I plan to make a few trips to the Jimmie Cone in Mt. Airy this year, so maybe I will see you there!!

I saw it in there the other day when my magazine arrived. I love these cars. They look great. I am sure it gathers attention where ever it goes. Congrats on a nice car and making a magazine (or two) with it.
