Long time ago, there was a woman who lived in a small town not far from me. Her husband died and left her a C2 Vette, black with silver coves, red interior, fuel injected; that's a pretty color combo, but I'd still prefer a Fawn Beige '62.
Anyway, she drove the car occasionally, perhaps to honor her late husband, but every 6 months or so the engine would start to run rough. She'd take it to the dealer that her late husband bought it from, and they'd simply "blow it out" with some pedal-to-the-metal (fiberglass) drives, and it'd then run perfectly smooth.
Perhaps an old story, but this one is true. I've visited with her on several occasions and driven the car. I wonder what happened to her car.
Also, an older guy I knew in school got a '61 Vette as a graduation present from his parents: White, red interior, both tops, fuel injected. He's in a nursing home now (if he's still alive), but as of 10 years ago he still had the car. I also wonder what happened to his car.
