Hessel:

Looks like a pretty clean cut on the end and someone has wrapped black tape around the hose bundle so it might be a stock set-up! And it wouldn't surprise me that GM could do this...LOL! Has the car been restored or is it all original, low-mileage?? Someone on here will know the answer soon!

Welcome to the Corvette Forum from mid America (Ohio)! My wife is a "hollander".....maiden name Boerkoel! Her family came over in the early 1900's and settled in Michigan.

When you get your question answered, please post some photos of your Corvette! It sounds awesome!

That is one sweet Corvette. I especially like the first pic of it overhead and with the top down! I see from your photos that there seems to be quite a Corvette following in the Netherlands! Thanks for the pictures!
