Default Corvette Museum's Hitlist

Many of you likely saw that the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green is seeking car donations. This is an excellent opportunity for those who’d like to contribute to our community, those that want to leave an automotive legacy, or for families who are looking for a tax deduction.

Note in the list below that the Museum wants a '99 C5 and we all know that should be Fixed Rood Coupe (FRC) with a BILYBOB license plate!

And it’s not just Vettes they are looking for T-birds, Vipers, and MGs too. Though not on the list below, surely they would take an E-type or an AC Cobra if someone were so generous.

PS-Not sure where the best place to put this is on the forum. Perhaps restorer's affection for accurate history might have synergies. But moderators, please move as you deem appropriate.
