Considering there were only two or three of each of these particular model, Corvettes, they should have gone to the Museum of the day they came out of the factory!

Point is…. These two examples belong in a museum. Being one of so few, could you see driving them and the potential of being destroyed….

Preservation of automotive heritage and technology.

Not the average base motor 68/72 Corvettes here….
