THE STORY WAS EVEN ON OUR BELGIUM TV NEWS YESTERDAY EVENING !!!!
Lifetime MemberFolks, it seems that even "the General" has a heart - well maybe a small one. The following came from the weekly NCM News email:
GM Restoration Parts and Chevrolet Donate To Restore Stolen Corvette
GM Restoration Parts and Chevrolet have donated $2,500 in genuine parts to help restore the 1968 Corvette convertible that Alan Poster recently had returned to him after being stolen 37 years ago.
Alan Poster, who made a number of headlines last week for having his stolen Corvette returned just before being shipped to a would-be buyer in Sweden, was surprised by the gift during an interview with Cruise Control Radio, a national automotive talk radio show. Harlan Charles, Corvette product manager, called to congratulate Mr. Poster on having his Corvette returned and informed him that GM Restoration Parts and Chevrolet were giving him $2,500 credit to use for genuine Corvette parts. Mr. Poster’s Corvette was returned missing several original items such as a gas tank, carburetor and a transmission, and its original International Blue paint scheme had been changed to silver. “We’re happy to help Mr. Poster restore his long-lost love,” said Charles “We understand what it’s like to fall in love with a Corvette and to get it in your blood. Corvette enjoys a 70 percent loyalty rate, which means 70 percent of people who buy a Corvette purchase another one.” Mr. Poster had just purchased a 1974 Corvette prior to having his stolen 1968 Corvette convertible returned and plans to restore the car, repaint it blue and give it to his 17-year-old daughter.
OK. OK. So $2500 won't go too far in restoring his car. At least GM offered some help - probably more for the PR than from the goodness of their heart. Still ... they did make the effort.
