Just got a notice on my phone that today's her 38th birthday....had forgot all about it. September 5, 1978.



I'm on the boat for the weekend, but will hopefully get her out for a spin tomorrow. Happy Labour Day everyone.

What's your serial#? (ok, you don't have to say exactly) but im curious what numbers they were in in Sept. Obviously very low. Mine is a low 15XXX serial # from Dec 15th 1978. Oh, and happy birthday to your 79!

Hi bk,
Nice!
Is the teddy bear in the Ford next to your car wondering what it would be like to ride in as cool a car as yours?!?
I wish it many more birthdays with you!
Regards,
Alan

Congrats!

That's what I like about Corvettes......they are "laid-back"/no fussing/no griping/missed her birthday.....No Problem....She's still in a good mood and ready!

Thanks, the paint code is 58 Dark Corvette Green. The interior is 49C Green Cloth. There were only ever 517 cars out of 53,000 that got that interior.
