We also had that car for sale as well but the owner took it back to Kentucky. It attained some different notoriety when displayed in the guys showroom. Two guys in a bar across the street got into a gun fight and a bullet went thru the plate glass window and then thru the rear fender. From then on it had the nickname "The Bullet Hole Corvette". As far as I know the hole has never been fixed. I wanted both these super low mile cars, but couldn't begin to afford them even back then! I have always wondered where it ended up. Thanks, Lee!....Bill S

----Same color combo (rare) and some of the same options, but not the same car. No one would have ever restored the car I know. Oh well. I'll keep on looking for this one and the bullet hole car. I have a feeling that Tim might know where the 67 is....Bill S

This is an award winning 1968 Hemi Charger R/T. I have seen this photo and it's corresponding front view tons of times. But recently I saw this photo:

That is not an award winning exhaust system installation.

This Tri-Barrel pistol once belonged to Napolean. It dates back to the very early 1800s
