My First Corvette, Car # 16

a Red 1965 Corvette Fast-Back, Sting-Ray

(November 29, 1970)

327-350 h.p. 4 Speed

I had given up my photography career and gone it the insurance business by now.

 

 

I had just painted it- Candy Apple Red Metal Flake and was rubbing out the paint job.

As you can see I had also changed the wheels from the stock knock-offs to some

after market wheels. If I had only known then what I know now! Oh well!

As best I can remember, I think I sold this Vette to someone for about $2,500

when I got rid of it. This was the first car I ever auto-crossed while living in 

Denver, Colorado. 

 

Here is my # 17 Car

a 1927 T-Bucket that I built from the ground up. Including welding the frame

together myself. I did it all! 327-350 horse with a powerglide trany.

 

 

I built this one before the days of when you could buy all the pieces to a T-bucket

together. I had to make everything myself. It turned out ok but not one of my most

favorite cars. But it sure burned the tires easy! Ha! It was a lot of fun.

 

Car # 18

a 1960 Mercedes 190 SL Sport Roadster w/both tops!

 

I didn't like the mousy tan color so I painted it myself in a friends shop.
