Thanks for the kind words guys. Just to show how much I like this car, I'll offer this.......

I think some of you are familiar with some of the cars I have / do own personally. The same could be said for my Dad as well. The fact of the matter is, my Dad owned this car. He and I both are smitten with the car. I took it back from him as I found him a 17,000 mile L79 Corvette roadster. I gladly took this car back as I had (and still do) miss the Harry Mann L78 / L88 car that Paul has. This car is THAT nice IMO.

I purchased to smog from Bill Hodel due to the fact I was going to hang onto this car.

What has changed as I have had a 66 Corvette L72 (very original and highly awarded) car drop into my crosshairs. As some of you know, these Corvette's run deep with my family. I only have so much room for personal cars, so something (unfortunately) has to go.

Just a little sidebar to the conversation at hand and a peek into my head

Tim

----Without letting the cat out of the bag can you give us a few tidbits on the 66? If not I do understand......Bill S

What a beautiful car, Tim. I'd keep it the way it is and enjoy.

L72 Coupe. 61,000 miles Original paint (Laguna Blue), original interior (black vinyl). Well docked, Top Flight, BG Gold, MCACN Triple Diamond.

Factory knock off car (with all 5 wheels), factory gold line car, tele column, radio delete, 3.08 posi., HD suspension. The body and the patina is just to die for.

I was bidding on the car at a Mecum auction about 10 years ago (Proteam won out). Was seriously in love with it then. When I saw the car again, I was to say the least......."in heat"

I have been on a streak of finding some really killer cars as of late. Frankly, I could find a reason to keep them ALL! You guys will see a couple of others I have found, as I'll post them here first before going about my ways. Once I get the 66, I'll get familiar with it, photograph the car, and give it to Bruce.

It's honestly been years since I have been this excited about a car!

Tim

Wow Tim, I’m partial to Island Teal but Grotto looks fantastic as well! The interior of this car is identical to mine, even down to the Sun gauges and I added a period Sun tach shortly after getting it from you. The idle on your car sounds fantastic as well. GLWTS.
