Maine is nice this time of year

[Jack P.]

Hi , I would like to so hello to all. This is my first post on this site. I am a regular on Corvette Forum and CAC.

I have owned my 1966 L79 for almost 40 years. Next summer I am planning a cross country trip. I had planned this trip when I was 24, but life got in the way.

Thanks to all who have been helping with advice as I get my car back on the road. Looks like I will be all set for my 6,000 mile ride next summer.

As a treat for me to see other midyear corvettes, (not that many in Maine) if you are coming up to Maine on a ride or vacation, please let me know. You can stop by and we can talk and see cars. I live just outside of Portland , Maine, (2 hours from Boston). Nice ocean views and good lobster.

Just PM me and let me know when you may be in Maine. Drinks and cars, what could be better?

My trip next year is to do research on Corvette owners who have owned their car for more than 30 years . I have planned to be on the road in my 66 L79 for about 2 or 3 months. Just car, tent, laptop, golf clubs and Tools.

PM if you would like me to stop by. I am planning now, so that I can set a course that will get me across the country and back to Maine.

Hope to see some of you this summer.

Jack

Not a PM, but I don't expect you'll come down to FL on your trip anyway. We're just a sort of "dingle berry" hanging down between the Gulf and the Atlantic. But I do still have my original owned 63 Vette just cruising around Central Florida in the early mornings or evenings all year long.

Jack, My offer still stands on Cape Cod if you start out due South on your first leg. I answered you over on the forum. Had my 65 for almost 38 years. Sounds like a great trip

Jack,

If for some reason you take a wrong turn on I-95 and head north, you can visit and inspect my 1958 Panama Yellow garaged in Perham, ME just west of Caribou. Also have a friend with a '58 in Caribou. Right now I'm in Lakeland, FL as a snow bird and will be leaving tomorrow to travel north. Heat is killing me! Will be staying at the Comfort Inn in South Portland this Wednesday. Would enjoy meeting you and talk Vettes for a bit Thursday a.m. if your schedule permits. I have some time to kill since I have an appointment in Bangor late afternoon. Will be taking I-295 from Portland to Augusta and than I-95 north. If not too complicated let me know. Email is fine.
