For Sale 1967 Corvette

[Allen]

Never driven on pavement and never over 15mph mostly through people's yards, malls, schools, and a few lakes.

The Chinese and Russians got what info they wanted. Garage is being cleaned out so the rest of the documents go with the car.

A friend of mine has one,. His father bought it for him as a graduation gift when he got his engineering degree. He told me that he was originally going to buy a different car because it was considered hot at the time but at the last minute changed his mind and got a corvette. The vet is now surprisingly valuable; the then hot car would have been recycled into razor blades decades ago. By contrast, when I got my engineering degree in 68, my mother bought me a wrist watch and since we were very poor, I truly appreciated her gift.

It's not so much the gift as it is the gifter's intent, well-meaning and sacrifice. Your wrist watch is probably much more "valuable" and cherished than your buddy's Corvette ever would be in the grand scheme of things. Bless your mother's heart....

I don't know who paid your college expense but as a parent she contributed in one way or another. She probably didn't buy things for herself knowing you might need help with expenses at the time. The 'vette has a limited value and is replaceable. Your mother isn't.

Another reason the 'vette is for sale.

Judging from sheithead Hunter's history and cocaine usage in and around his daddy's property, a drug detector dog would probably go into apoplectic shock were it to come within 100' of the 'vette.

You are correct. My mother told me that if I wanted to go to university, I would have to go to the local school as we could not afford anywhere else, that she would provide room and board but that I would have to work to pay tuition and books myself. That worked out and I only needed a small student loan in my final year. I am forever in debt to her for her support and encouragement. I would note that she was left a widow at 39 with three children, no insurance, no money and a pile of medical bills.
