Does anyone have a copy (either paper or electronic) of the VIP (Vette Improvement Program) article that is on corvettefaq.com? I am grateful for the access that this website provided to this article, but the pdf file is a little messed up, probably from the outlines and underlines the original owner placed in. The series seems a little disjointed, and I'm not sure if some pages are missing, so I'd like to take another look at a different copy. Anyone know if the original magazine offers reprints????

I visited this web site for the first time this evening. It turns out the copy I have appears to be from the same scan, although I pulled my copy off the net a few years back. The copy I have, although with the same annotations, looks complete if a bit cut up and is clearly readable.

The were six parts which ran in “Corvette Fever” back in 1985, probably over the course of a year. That would be why page numbers are non-consecutive. It is very doubtful that CF has reprints or back issues from 17 years ago.

I will be happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. Also this weekend I will check to see if I have the original magazines from back then, although I doubt it.
