A year ago today
My post about Watkins Glen made me realize it is exactly a year ago today I towed Darth Vader home. That's what I have named it. Won the auction on Tuesday, drove to Baltimore Weds, towed it home and left for the Glen Thursday.
Then
Now
Last year, at the Vintage Festival, I was day dreaming about getting the car done, coming back next year and driving it in one of the tours. Next year is here and it's gonna happen.
Gotta love it when a plan comes together. 
And...the help from here has been tremendous!!

It's guys like you that give salvage cars a "Good" name. From everything I have read and seen about your build I would not hesitate to own it. I hate seeing all these C5's being parted out, thanks for saving a beautiful example.
