GM Restoration Parts and Chevrolet Donate To Restore Stolen Corvette 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.
