67 Reclamation!!

[Brian D.]

Big weekend just past!
IN Chapter meet on Fri-Sat, and then on Sunday I was unearthing this:

67-bd 14.jpg67-bd 89.jpgIMG_0017.jpgIMG_0028.jpg

The first photo is mostly significant because of the second photo.
This very car was the first Corvette I ever drove, back in 1989.
Both the car and I are in different condition now.
At least the car can be brought back!

427/390hp, January 20 body build.

Soooooo...did you buy it?? More details, please. This sounds like the makings of a very cool story.

Re: 67 Reclamation!!

Oh yes, I'd put down a deposit last Tuesday. This was just the first time we'd gotten it out for initial cleaning. Lots of things to do mechanically of course. It hasn't been run since '91, or so I believe from the expired 1991 license plate still on it.

I'll post more shots as things progress. My target date for full-fledged driving is May 24.

Actually Brian, that's a 61 without the cove contrast color. My drive in '89 came about because we took four cars from the owner's house up to a storage facility of his friend's. I happened to get assigned the maroon car. When I had the picture taken 25 years ago, I truly never imagined another photo from this year!
