Gents;
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Richard (Rick) C. Iverson Jr., CW5 (AUS Retired). I am a combat wounded Vietnam Airborne Infantryman (70-71) as well as an Operation Iraqi Freedom (08-09) ‘Dustoff’ pilot. I retired from a forty-one year military as Instructor Pilot/Aviation Safety Officer on 29 Feb 10. My wife and I have since moved to Florida from East Gull Lake, Minnesota, and have recently celebrated the birth of our first grandchild.
I have owned:
- L76 1963 Tuxedo Black Roadster. I bought this car for $600 on 17 Dec 1972.
- L71 1967 Goodwood Green Coupe. I traded the Roadster + $800 for the 435/427 two years later. Sold it for $1800 two years later, and thought I had made a fortune.
- L68 1967 Maroon Coupe. Regrettably, I sold it for a fraction of its value four years ago. Nice no hit car, but no documentation.
At sixty-four, I would like to get into another 66-67, but being the typical **** military aviator, it has to be no hit, and documented. Therein lies the conundrum: can't have the above living on wiener water soup.
Question, please: was the 3869942 4-bolt block offered only in the Corvette?
