My ride, and also my favorite classic sports car



The latest major update is flat paint and steel wheels.
Wanted a new look, and paint was getting bad. Yes, it's difficult to see that on pictures.



This Corvette has a 5,7 liter L48 V8 engine, and a four speed manual gearbox.
In 1975 Chevrolet produced only 4629 Corvette convertibles.
1975 was also the last year for the C3 Corvette convertible.
I bought this Corvette in July 2007.

The colour-code for this car is: Glasurit - 3x07x11.00 (Reihe-22VOC3.5)

Documentation on previous owners and other interesting papers followed the car.

It was bought at Chuck Wood Chev Co in Le Mars, Iowa.

In 1987 it was sold to Steele Ford-Mercury in Le Mars, Iowa.

Next owner is Domenic Vecchio of FT.Collins, Colorado.
November the 20th 2000 he sells the car to Fred McIntyre of West Seneca, New York.

In 2002 Corvette is sold to James Bartone of New Kensington, Pennsylvania.

In 2006 it is sold to Arne Bjune of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Early in 2007 it arrives in Norway, where I bought it from the dealer Phoenix US Cars in Tonsberg.
