I still have that issue of M/T. I thought it was a cool Corvette back then and think it has stood the test of time well.

When I was a kid someone gave me some of their old car magazines and this issue was one of those in the stack. It was long before I was at driving age. I remember reading the article numerous times, and marveling at the pictures, thinking how cool the Corvette loked. I was mesmerized. Really, it was one of my first introductions to Corvettes. Getting my Shark was a fun experience and brought back a lot of years of wondering/dreaming. Thanks for sharing.
