Re: Neil Armstrong Corvette being "preserved".

Preserving this car with the history of wear and tear by persons other than Armstrong is a farce. Who cares about a used up vehicle as claimed which it is not. It seems someone is just attempting to get a lot of attention to a "fabricated preservation" for eventual $ profit. I think I said the same as Roy but in much bolder terms.
Ditto, and was it rode hard and put up wet, or rode hard and put away wet?

An interesting story. Not sure I would preserve it in this manner, but not sure what it would look like vs. a full restoration. In any event, it won't be driven anymore. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2...on/?refer=news
For the younger members this Corvette was what most of the cars looked like back in the day.Some better & some worse. There were very few nice Corvettes around because in the early 70'S you could buy one for 1500/2000 dollars. Flairs. ribbon paint,replaced motor & roll & tuck was the norm. An that is the way it was in the day.

Exactly, and don't forget all the Edelbrock speed equipment and those all important California six tail lights, what a look!
