The Yellow C3 is a ZL1...only two (2) produced! I took those pics in 1986 at a Car Show in Hawthorne, NJ.
That super rare Corvette ZL1 is owned by Roger Judski of Florida.

Mike, IMO, your best delivery thread ever. Why? Because I started to save my “favorite” picture, and found myself saving each one in turn. If would have been easier if I just “quoted” your thread and have the software reproduce each one for me.

I did narrow it down to these.

I love these barn find cars that come out of hibernation after years of sleeping hopefully to get reborn again and returned to the road to be enjoyed!!

Joel Rosen I guess one could say he was the Callaway Performace shop of the late '60s & 70's? I remember as a young boy I would buy all of the Hotrod magazines just to read about the crazy cars Motion was building. Joel figured out how to solve the bad 4cyl engines in Vegas? You replace them with 454/450HP big blocks!!!

Thanks for another fun post and for the awesome throwback pics. Congrats on the deliveries as well! Speaking of a Corvette Nomad, check this Corvette out that is not far from where I live.

Mike Furman -- Oh snap! I typed "ZR1" instead of ZL1. Maybe I had Camaro on the brain or something. LOL!

I went back and fixed it to show ZL1. (You learn something every day on this forum, huh?)

Great post, Mike. Can't pick a favorite.
Reb, be careful driving back to NC. You might be able to prove Corvettes don't melt in the rain. Use Weather mode and you will be fine. Safe trip.

My 2006 Z06 was the first one delivered to the Wash, DC market. Great Corvette!

Yes it was my first Z06, ~2006 Z06 Cpe in Lemans Blue with the Gray/Black interior. Only 671 Lemans Blue Z06's built in 2006 of the 6,272 produced.

Default Ncm

What an accomplishment for the NCM to perform 12K deliveries!

The C3 ZL-1 is a great share. Did not know they (2) even existed.

Seems like you are doing many more NCM deliveries this time of year, compared to years past.

You certainly did your part to help the NCM reach their 12K delivery milestone.

Congrats to all!!!
