Race on Sunday, No Warranty Come Monday

[markjohnson]

Another warranty story. A friend of mine bought a brand new 68 or 69 L-88 Corvette here in St. Louis and was told by the salesman there would be no warranty when it left the lot because they knew it would be raced. So he proceeded to back up to edge of the lot and started dumping the clutch after telling the salesman that if it was going to break, he wanted it to break on their lot. This made the dealership owner come running outside and he ended up giving a 30 day warranty on the car. The car is long gone now but many of the orginal L-88 parts are still in his garage.
