Formula outlaw, that 65 with side pipes is incredible. One of the first rides I got in a vette was in a mid-year with side pipes. Love that sound

Thank you....I bought it off a 76 year old gentleman from mid-Texas who was the original owner and wanted a new C6-Z06. I have a picture of him and his wife picking the car up when they bought it. "The Little Woman" told him he could have one or the other but not both. I was very very lucky to not only find it, but beat everybody else after it and sealing the deal. Had only 58,300 original miles on it when I got it.

He kept it in a climate controlled garage, and covered it with bed sheets bought from Good Will because since they would be used, they would be softer...

Car is in incredible shape for a survivor....

I've done a few "upgrades/mods" to make it a better driver while mothballing all the original parts.

Take it out and drive it every day that the roads aren't wet. Took it out early this evening for hour and a half just cruisin' around. Absolutely LOVE it.

My friend in Texas restores and works on Corvettes and vintage aircraft in Houston. I could swear he sent me a picture of that car in his shop. Is the car from Houston?

Ok, here a few new pics of mine while I was in Kentucky for the Z06 Fest. Two are behind the National Corvette Museum and one is at Mammoth Cave National Park.

About four hours outside of Houston, I'd have to look up the town, wierd name, (lot of those in Texas.... ).

What's the name of the shop??? I'll go back through all the documentation I got with the car and see if anything matches up. Possible I suppose....

Wouldn't that be wild....

Just checked and the car is still in his shop. His shop is at Houston International airport, in a hanger since he also restores planes
