Tenney, those are great pics! I have never seen those and I bet my brother and Dad haven't seen those pics either?

Yes great pics - thanks for sharing. Carl did send one or two of those when we got the car back, but the engine shots are new to me.

If that car could talk..........

Great car! As you may know Carl scored it from Jim, near Carbondale. He also had a cool black '64 340 horse 4spd. time-capsule 409 - also from Jim - who I think may've acquired both cars via Bill & Richard Buxbaum?

That '62 flew on Carl's watch, too!

btw ... ace photog, Dave Newhardt, was busy sorting classic 'Vettes and other cool stuff in Jim's So. Illinois shop around this time ...

Our Dad sold the 62 to Jim in order to purchase a new 1981 Corvette 4 speed for our Mom at the time (he also sold an L78 Nova he owned with Bill S. but not to Jim). Jim is still around but living in Chicago suburbs now. I saw him this spring at a swap meet in Sandwich. Funny thing is even with the proceeds from the 62 and the Nova they had to come up with a bunch of money to purchase a new Corvette even back in 1981. While we got the 62 back we completely lost track of the Nova - as I recall it was an original drivetrain bench seat 4 speed car, gold with black guts. Supposedly sold to a kid in the Joliet area who repainted it black.

----I must sound like a broken record, but the Dykstra's are my favorite family on earth! From almost the day I moved to Hinsdale to work at Classic Motors all of them became as close as family. I would be remiss if I didn't say that Bob Zimmerman (AKA Stretch) is include in this extended august group! Love you guys!!!!!!!.......Bill S
