1963 red Corvette coupe.
Purchased in 72 because it had less than 1000 miles. But it had been converted to a funny car. Huge hood scoop with blower and racing cams and a jacked up rear with baloney tires and flared fender wells. Regular street driving was tough.
It took twelve years to restore to original stock condition. Then I drove it for another twelve. A friend couldn't resist buying it because he wanted to do cruise nights and win ribbons. I kept my promise to my kids and used the proceeds for something fun - the down payment on a beachfront condo in NC which we loved for another twelve years.
Lots of fun for 36 years!
