    Renewing the passion, why I love to drive my C2

    Today, as I usually do most every other Sunday in good weather, I went to the little neighborhood grocery store driving my '67. I bought the wife's grocery list, and headed back to the car in the parking lot. When I got there, about 6 teenagers, mostly sack boys collecting carts from the lot, had gathered around it. They were oohhing and ahhhing about it, and started asking numerous questions. I popped the hood and conducted a school on it. One was beside himself when he saw it was a "435 horse!", it was great fun for 30 minutes or so to fully educate them on it, they did seem to know something about it anyway. This renewed my faith and passion about how great these cars are, and to remember to take it to every car show and event, as well as just driving it around whenever possible. People love these cars, no matter what age they are.....

    Great story. I was just at a club member's house this Saturday where he is starting a restoration on his '67 435HP Vette. He purchased it new and was his main driver for many years. Its been sitting for about 10 years, but he wants to drive it again. His is yellow with a build date of 12/20/1966. Great cars.
