Optioned the right way, that's over $1M in fiberglass today...

No WONDER all the W/S areas rusted out.....

an old friend from the GM junkyard in Rockville Md, where my son actually worked for a couple summers......years later on......so my old friend George talked of working at a Chebby dealer early on, when the Vegas were new and how the guys and himself signed off on sloppy repairs NOT in accordance to GM requests for window/cowling repairs on the Vega rust issues.....


THAT told me a LOT about stealership operations.....


this shit dates back to the 70's yet.....obviously....

I wonder if LocoVette could get a train car load of new Vettes "lost" somewhere.....preferably in the Houston area.

I got this close to a truck load of '08s, but the quality of the pic isn't as good.

In the first pic, 1963 or 1964. Can't tell, as none are coupes, but fenders were similar

You know, back in those days a trainload of Vettes must have been a real sight considering almost all cars were American and the variety of sports cars on the road was very limited.
