Hi,
It turns out the 'pot of gold' was located about 1/8 of a mile from my back yard.
The pot was much bigger than I ever imagined..... so free Corvette for everyone! Just select a color.
Regards,
Alan

You better hurry up. When I know where the pot is, someone always beats me to it.

Alan, if we are talking about colors of the rainbow for colors of vettes, I am afraid that I would be out of luck, since I like black..........

Being that you found the pot-o-gold, I'll pick gold as my color. However, if you had to outwit a leprecaun to gain access to said gold, I will choose green. When should I expect it to arrive?? I can't wait for it to get here!!

When I stripped the paint off my car it had all those colors at one time.

Steel Cities Gray. Coupe or convertible - I'm not picky.

Perhaps entering this sweepstakes gives better odds than that pot-o-gold malarkey.

Not for me. I'll stick with Alan's pot of gold. Better odds.

There is only one catch to the Corvettes at the end of Alan 71's rainbow. The leprechaun who owns them? His name is Bubba O'Brien.......


Keep the shiny side up!

I've seen a rainbow of puddles underneath, but no pot of gold.

I have a C3, can I get a 1960?

Did you run into any competition when arriving at said gold?

A few years ago, while I was in the upstairs office at a large Chevy dealership during an afternoon shower, to my amazement I looked out to see there really was gold at the end of the rainbow that day. Yep, the end of it was square on top of a brand new gold Impala in the front lot. Sorry, didn't have a camera on me, dang it.
