Yes, he removed the stripes, put 350 emblems on it, white wall tires and a red pinstripe because of his new job at the FBI and not wanting to draw attention because of the car that he was driving. That was frowned on in those days.

Photo of original owner with my Z on his wedding day. I am told that the car was a graduation-wedding present from his folks.

September 20th 1980. Sadly neither are still with me. The Vette was sold in 1985 to make room for something else, Karen passed suddenly in 2009.

Yes it was tough for a while. My friends and my car passion (obsession?) got me through it.
Those of you who have met Jani know that I am in good hands, all good now!

Indeed in good hands. She is one hell of a woman and great to see she is still keeping you in line.

Great topic and the timing is great for me as it is my 20th wedding anniversary this Wednesday October 2.
Here are photos 20 years back in 1999 when I had all Black Hair and was thinner LOL
Me with my 1966 427/425 HP Corvette, My wife got to the church by her brother taking her in his 1964 Corvette and finally right after we got married on a rainy day just leaving the church to make our way to the hall.

To get into the hall entrance we had both corvettes parked on an angle to walk through the center between both to enter the hall.
All our family and friends loved it.
