Awesome, so six other owners may be finding out that their Vette is also one of those. Should be interesting to see if they post that they have found this out now.

Thank you for all the comments!

The former owners were not informed that this car was a story!
None of the other six corvettes is pilot vehicle.

I managed it a few months ...
To reach Scott .. He remembers the day he fond memories of my c5.
For cons, I can not join the official register c5 !??!!
If anyone has a contact by mail?

Regarding the status of my corvette to buy ...
There was especially a big job of cleaning ...
The whole interior was dismantled ... The seal of seats have been changed. (4 months working with my father at all).


....

Gradually, it regains its original state.

I still have some small details ... but it is already changing!
Finally, it the treatment it deserves.
This weekend, there is a rally in my area ... it will be presented.
Many people are eager to see it ... for real!

Who knows ... maybe one day she will be in a magazine ...
To my great happiness!




In any case, an adventure that makes me shiver every day!

Very cool story....thanks for sharing.

Maybe I missed it but are you outside of the US with the foreign license tags?

And that pic of the lift was interesting...albeit a bit scary.

Yes, I am from Luxembourg in Europe.
thank you for the link! Corvette / astraunot!

Oupss! I'll try to explain the best ...
The elevator is attached to ... the brake discs.
The tower can be seen inside has a threaded rod that is attached to a motor.
In the photo ... it was lifted with the power of a standard drill!
The passenger side, there are moons that allow the car to lie on the flanks.
It's very impressive but secure.

Jeez--I must be getting old. Parazynski in that photo looks like a grade-schooler, yet he was an astronaut.

Wish my French was as good as your English. "Moi, je suis tres stupide en Francais".
