I've owned it since the 80's and it was stripped to bare glass and totally disassembled in mid 70's, never to see the road again. Maybe this is the year.
I've never changed the color on one of my cars, but I came very close to painting this one Riverside Red since I don't care much for the saddle tan. The fact that it's got THE ORIGINAL drivetrain (340 horse) made keeping the original color the sensible choice. (and yes, the hood fits, no hinges now, just laying there shimmed up high to get the edges covered well)
A friend told me once that ALL Corvettes were supposed to be red but that GM had made some assembly line errors over the years.
