Thanks, Tim. Didn't think I would actually get them for that bid, I'll take 'em.
As I mentioned when we placed the bid, we are heading up to the UP in a couple weeks and could make a little side jog and meet up.

Sounds good. Let me know specifically when you are thinking. I have to run back over towards Minneapolis to grab a car

I'll shoot you a PM.

Nice car! If any of your corvette friends are looking for a 70 corvette LS5 all rebuilt and ready to go! I have one.

Thanks Lawrence. All the time on the road has brought some cars to my attention. The NCRS show in Rochester afforded me the opportunity to buy another car

Soooooo, another 700 miles on Wednesday west of Minneapolis to pick that up.

I'm like a child without a blanket when I don't have a midyear. If I could only have 1 car, it would be a midyear Corvette

I'll create a thread when I get some pics and info. It should be a nice bookend to the 70.

As mentioned in the thread I started for Bill Wente's 67, our car received the NCRS 4 star Bowtie Preservation award. Tracey (and others) are on me to take a trip out to the Ontario NCRS Regional at the end of September. That would afford the opportunity to get a Performance Verification (1st try) as well a check the box for a Bowtie display. I need to display the car at 2 Chapter meets, and 2 Regionals in order to qualify the 5th Star.

I must say, the idea of getting the 5th Star for the Bowtie award, and the opportunity to get a Duntov award at next years National event, has an distinct appeal.

We're headed to MCACN this year to contend for a Triple Diamond, and spin the car through Vintage Certification.

If everything goes to plan, the car will have received most every award it can achieve (in the Corvette hobby).

You should listen to Tracey
