Default Sold my 86 Pace Car....

Well boys, after 27 years I have finally parted with my 1986 Corvette roadster. It actually broke my heart to part with it. When my wife signed the title she said it was like signing a death certificate. Its only been six hours and I already miss it. If I had the garage space, I would have never sold it. BUT, the day finally came...

Here are a few photos of the new addition to our Corvette stable:

Yup. Torch Red with an Ebony leather interior.

I'll still be hanging out here for a while helping folks with their C4 issues as best I can. And I'll also continue as a C4 NCRS judge helping guys restore their C4's....

Always sad to see an old friend go, but the new friend is certainly nice!

They had a few of the different color 427s lined up at the NCM when I was there last week. Beautiful!

I think this one was Carbon

I've owned my '86 for 21 years. That means I can get a C6 in another 6 years

Thanks, Ray. I sold the 86 Pace Car to Rick Hendricks. Not sure what he is going to do with it. I thought he was going to put it in his Hendricks Performance Center, but the other day one of his guys said that they were going to put it on the show room floor at City Chevrolet. I just don't know. BUT I sure hope it goes to a collector as there are tons of original very hard to find parts on it even down to the OEM license plate screws. I'll let you know what happens as the story unfolds.

Hope all is well for you and family there in the UK
