Wasn't this car in the Bob McDorman collection?

----Bruce,,,Bob was one of my closest friends. We both could practicly finish each others sentences. I sold and bought Corvettes to and from him for years, and I miss him dearly. Went to his 50th birthday and never had a better time. Big RIP in this case!
----By the way, the H.E. Corvette was equipped with Dayton wire wheels when I saw it in his driveway in Palm Beach.......Bill S

That car has been around and sold several times. It would be interesting to see what the prices it has been sold for throughout the years.

Tim I totally agree with you! When I saw this thread pop up the first thing I thought was I wonder Bill knew this car when it was young, and he did! By the way, I too think this car is VERY cool!

I also remember this car when Bob owned it, he took me for a very interesting ride, he could drive like a crazy man. I helped him with the early corvette auctions at Carlisle. I still own a 57 and a 62 I bought from Bob, he drove the 62 to my house after I bought it from him, he told me it was running like a dream. Turns out it was the last Corvette he ever drove.

Congratulations on Charlie's new assignment, you are certainly up to the task. I hope I can catch up with you at Carlisle or Hershey.
