I also agree Frank. I don't get to see this car as much as I'd like to. Probably one of the best stories I have heard.

I have seen the car and all I could say is it is awesome!!! I only wish that Bill would show it more often...he is under the impression that people don't like to see an original car with some slight "weathering" to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree Frank. We tried to get Bill to join us at VetteFest in '03 and we got the same reply. I think it's obvious to everyone now that the car is FULLY WORTHY of the attention it gets. Then add the fact that Bill is one of the nicest guys ever..... what a combination!

Bill!

Well Bill, you know I've loved your car ever since you got it. Hopefully some day I can see it in person. Hey, Black on Black with a White side stripe -

Very interesting story to boot. Continue enjoying it pal.

Well, now I'm really embarrassed

I'm sure it looks like I've been ignoring everyones too-kind comments and well wishes Truth is, my wife and I are on vacation in Arizona and I can only get to the library every so often to check the computer. Pretty hard to tear yourself away from the pool when it's 105 degrees!

Thank you all for the compliments The story behind the car really is funny because it's the absolute truth. One of those things that I always heard about happening to 'someone else'.

Rita - a belated "Happy Birthday" to you
