Been out a lot today. It's running really healthy and feels awesome with the american flag bandana!

We need a picture of the bandana.

It’s nice to see someone young with a real passion for old American iron, especially the corvette.

Me and my brother. Thanks guys. It feels really smooth to drive for a 1971 car and natural now I've got used to it. It was really cool to bump into 3 different people that wanted to talk about cars.

 

[Corvette]

Great to see you weren’t just talking the talk, there you are rocking up in a chrome bumper car! Well done.

Love the bandana.

Luckily the t-tops fit next to the fire extinguisher. Stacked with a fleece between them seems to work.

I'm looking forward to car shows and goodwood breakfast club and some mopar meets (moparuk.com)!

They are always a bit cumbersome when inside the car. T-T bags are available through the various suppliers.

 

[James Vette]

Yeah the 2 compartments next to the battery is handy. Really well designed car.

Luggage rack will be used for camping chairs for car shows or beach BBQs.

Wrap your ass in fibre glass .

Love the bandana.

I just had to order myself one of them too , but I think something got lost in the translation !

Congrats for following through on your dream and making it happen !
I was 24 years old when I got my first Corvette that was almost new was a 1974 that had front right damage
and got it good price.
Did all the repairs myself except I had to have someone do the painting

You should make a copy of that decal
Imagine Nov 1st of 1979 someone working for the DOD
Wow, if that Vette could only talk in what that owner was doing there and how it got to your country ?

What year is it and which engine ?

Your photoshop skills are on point. Could probably post about it on corvetteforum to find out the history. Funny to think about people enjoying the same car 50 years ago (1971). 350 V8.

It might be worth trying to contact the Department in the States but there might well be privacy and disclosure issues . I found a windshield sticker lost down behind my dash top . It is a members pass pass Number 1111 for the Bel Air Bay Club , Pacific Palisades , California that had to be the owner in the 1980 to 89 period as my car was shipped to Japan in 1989 . The flashy Beach Club still exists and I keep thinking I should contact them to their records go back that far to try and contact the owner back then . As you say it`s strange to think of our cars previous lives half a world away. The pass now graces my windshield too .
