Default Re: Astronaut Corvette

I believe that the Grissom '67 has a restoration motor, also. I visited with the owner of the Alan Bean '69 last weekend and the providing of Corvettes stopped shortly after 1969, although many bought them personally. There was some flack about GM profiting off of the program by the one dollar a year lease. They thought that NASA was taking advantage of the program and getting free exposure. According to him, the Grisson Corvette was owned by him rather than a lease.
