----In the spring of 1967 I thought I wanted a new 67 Corvette to replace my 66. No one else including my banker felt the same as me, but I went on the hunt anyway. I was then a sophmore at Ohio U. For a couple of weeks I travelled all over southern Ohio to different Chevy dealers and one of them was Langs as I had heard they were a performance dealer, and they definetly were. Of course, I never managed to buy a 67 then, but I did see my first 396/375 67 Camaro. It was white with a black gut and had both headers and an extra complete 4:56 gearset in the trunk (right from the factory). Not one other option! Id love to know where that one went. That's when I figured they were right about Langs being a performance dealer. Well,,,that and about 15 Corvettes and other assorted Chevy muscle everywhere. Great, great dealership!!!!!!!!!.........Bill S

Cool story Bill... Was it common for guys your age to be hunting new Corvettes? I must have been focusing my attention at the wrong things when I was younger.LOL

Well, I got my email today and notice of my refund. No information was found on my Nova. I do appreciate them trying though.

My 68 is an 07B built Nova. Bad place for that gap to be in on 68 Novas.

VW's were cool... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]...Learned to drive on a 1960, after I would brown nose the old man by cleaning the car up he would let me drive it in the empty lot next to our house. Man was I cool.

VWs were great transportation for broke college kids as I was. My $700 '75 lime green fuellie beetle always got me home safe. Who needs a floor or heat without exhaust fumes anyway.
