New Vette
I am John from Arizona and this is my first Corvette. I have worked on Corvettes all during my teen and twenties everything from a 1967 427/425 to a 63 split window, a 65 show car and now my own 62. The 67 was the first one I had driven and when I was doing about 70 dropped it into third and spun the tires I was hooked. As a family man I spent 30 years taking care of the kids and now it is my turn. Grand kids still get special treatment though.
