Yes a Corvette is not around every street corner here in DK.
But then again, we are a small country.

The next I will buy, will be a 1970-71 Camaro.

Thanks all, I like both my 69 Corvettes, and as I see it, then they will never be sold.
Both will go to my kids, and if I'm lucky, then they will give them to there kids, and NOT sell them :- )
