Default "Virginia Gentleman" Corvette 67 roadster

Anybody remember a 1967 Corvette roadster Greenwood green with a gold stripe that used to run in the Virginia area by the name of Virginia Gentleman. The driver was John Boughers in the early 70s. The car ended up in the Hollywood Florida area with a name on the rear quarter panel saying Ginos Paint&Body it was red with a black stripe at that time.

John, have you seen this thread over at Corvette Forum?

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1868740

Also found this...according to this article he didn't race until he was in his 60's, which would have been in the 1980's.
