I was surprised there was no history as to where this car has been over the last few years...


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

The locations and owners of all 5 of the original GS have always been known, since the day Zora(was forced to) let them leave the halls of GM. Rest assured, this is the real deal. Previous owners may simply not want their names published...it happens on some of these high dollar cars. Private collectors/"investors" don't always want the publicity...

I figure anyone with $7-8 mil to shell out for this(or any other) car willl prolly have a place to put it...the old "Ain't got no room" just won't cut it, ya'll...
