When I was a pup, every Sunday on nice days, there would be a C1 convertible parked. Each year thereafter, I saw next model in the church parking lot.

One day my brother showed up with a 62 Red on white. I was hooked after that on Corvettes.

My first was a beige on black 427 hurst 4-speed with line lock, scatter shield and Hooker side mount headers and white convertible top with s chrome roll bar. Awesome beast. Had to sell it before the kids got their licenses ($13K)

Found my ZR-1 at Rogers Corvettes in Orlando in 2000 with only 6K miles. It is Red on “Arrest Me” Red! It was all original.

I debated making it a garage queen, but decided to drive it everyday to work and enjoyment. She has done 18 laps at Daytona and 8 laps at VIR. Great car.

Working on replacing the 2nd water pump now. Marc rebuilt one and it’ll get installed next week.

Grandkids love to be picked up from school with the top off.
