Default Re: Benchmark Tank Sticker

----In late 1968 after the 69s were out, my local dealership, Heintzlman Chevrolet (just north of Medina,OH. on RT.42) was going out of business. On the floor was a Corvette Bronze, L-89 convert with every available option, including Tobacco leather. I tried my damndest to get that car and he was willing to sell it under his cost just to move it, but I just couldnt swing it. Fast forward to about 5 years ago and the car showed up at Pheasant Run at Danas auction in the fall all restored and looking very tasty. What a great color combo this is in person!!!!!!
----It seems funny now, as I had a very nice 66 Hemi Satellite I wanted to trade but he would only give me $800.00 for it, and I just couldnt do that. Sold it to a local Chrysler service rep I knew and I think he still has it stuffed in his garage........Bill S
