Thanks for the add-Been a Corvette guy for a lot of years- "87 to be exact". Own a split window I bought new in '62 and still have it after body off restoration 20 years ago. Got a C8 last December and it is the best one out of the eleven I have owned !! Raced a 57 FI in SCCA in '64 and upgraded to '65 after a few years with NO BRAKES . Left SCCA in early 70's and butlt a 70 Camaro in '74 to run IMSA and 12Hours Sebring. After co-driver crashed car after 3 hour stint, returned to Cincinnati and started driving late models (1/2 mile asphalt ). Renewed IMSA license in '99 to co drive with Son in 12 Hour. IMSA banned Tube Framed cars at last minute ( so much for that).
Involve with Corvette group in Highlands County (Sebring area) and still enjoy tinkering with the '63 and other less significant Cars ('89 MR2 and '08 Solstice GXP). Sorry for the long intro, but a lotion go on on over the course of 87 years !!

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your nice pair of Corvettes! 
May have seen you drive at Sebring. Attended the 12 Hour races in mid-60s, (especially remember the challenging 1966 race), then back a few times off-and-on while my brother lived in Avon Park.

Sebring Area
We live in Avon Park- kinda liked the area first time we visited the area .Lots of good hard working,God loving folks here and not a lot of hustle/bustle like other parts of Florida.
