Default Long Time Owner...Back
I have been a long time Corvette owner, bought my first in 1968, a 1967 Big Block Coupe(No I don't look like that anymore).


In 1978 I bought a 62 no hit, numbers matching, basket case. I spent 3 years doing the restoration. Starting showing it in 1981 and was able to bring home a trophy every time out. After about 4 years of that and a little over 600 miles on the clock other family matters caused it to be put away for AWHILE.. Fast forward 23 years and now its time to get it back out and on the show/cruise circuit.. Going to have lots of questions..

Thanks Q

Here's a few pics of the restoration..
