Prepped the silver Corvette for next weekend at Corvettes at the Lakes. Used some Ceramic Wax from Gliptone for the first time and it's damn fine and very easy to apply.
Excuse the mess in that part of the garage

Nice. White has always suited the corvette . I like it best with a red interior.I'm told there's a fresh import 396 white with red interior convertible coming to the Lakes party

Classic!

were they a kit supplied by boyd coddington? Couldnt look under the hood as owner nowhere to be seen. This was for sale at 17k presuming 350 sbc and auto box. . It has a tonneau type cover hiding the seats so could not see how accurate the interior was ,

First registered with the DVLA March 2018. Probably imported and declared registered as 1954, hence the age related plate.

So do we think this was actually built by Boyd C. Or was this a kit he produced and sold for the customers to build themselves ? Be interested to know how many are out there. .

We have two "What two have you done today" threads on the go. This new one without the "?" and the original one with the "?"
You know how you think sometimes about that car you sold and wonder where it is? 6 years ago I sold my 1st Corvette (C4) that I had owned for 29 years. Thanks to Ebay I now know. So been thinking since seeing the ad, why did I do that?/regretting it. I didnt need the cash, had a garage for it and sold it for peanuts. Just didnt have the time for the C6 and C4 and hoped it was going to a good home.

What have you done today ?
Thanks Pete but in fact you're premature as it's later in August but with family all over the UK it was the only date we could agree on. Didn't know this was a thing. Name on the chequered flag used at the end of the race then cut out and mounted. Great present!
