This used to be owned by two board members, Kevin S, and before that Steve S had it. It's still in the Seattle area I believe.

Actually three members including Chad Blomberg. The current owner was gracious enough to display the car in the LS-6 Showcase at last Aprils VetteFest. Super guy!

I can't believe that was almost a year ago-getting old is turning into a blur..

Wasn't Chad the one that found the car and bought it from the original owner 5 or 6 years ago?

I found the car nearby my home after someone posted a for sale add here for the car dating back to the early 70's. After much research and with the help of a then sYc member Ron B. who remembered the car from his youth, the car was located in the 4th owners house where it had been since the mid 70's. A deal was struck to purchase the car and on the eve of picking the car up he raised his price by $10k. I had scraped everything I had together to purchase the car and there was none left so I contacted Chad who then purchased the car and cleaned it completely. He then displayed it at the November VetteFest that year. We located the second owner of the car who still had the original Stripper wheels and tires and sold them to Chad. Neat car to say the least.

I've always been VERY fond of this car also. The only thing that could make it any cooler was if it would have been ordered as a Rally Sport split bumper car. I love the green-on-green, the white graphics, the pancake-manifold'ed LS-6 with horseshoe shifter, etc. The car is great!

I heard that Ron B had a different version on how this car was purchased originally

Had to bring that up again and try to ruin a thread! I still to this day have EVERY email between the two of us which proves differently but I really could give a sh!t anymore. Notice I STILL gave him credit both here and in the articles. Give it a rest already!

ummm, some of us LIKE the "standard" full bumper look, besides, who needs MORE weight on the nose of a BB 2nd gen?
