We get pictures and stories by the boatload of readers' Corvettes to include in "Your Ride In The Spotlight"

Here are some more that are worth taking another look at!

Precious Metal (& Fiberglass)

Sam Dodero
’64 Sting Ray convertible

Here is some info on my car.
 
It has an unbroken history, and  it’s very original with a no-hit body. Options include the High Performance 365 hp 327 engine with rare (extremely limited production) silver interior and dark blue dash. It’s a two-top car with power brakes and J65 brake option.

It’s also very famous. It recently received a write up in the NCRS Restorer Magazine. (In addition, it was  accepted into the National Corvette Museum for October, 2008.  They sent me an acceptance letter stating it was the only ‘64 Corvette in their Museum.) It received the NCRS Top Flight Award on August, 11th 2007, mainly due to its originality.  The car received quite a bit of attention there, as some judges said it could be one-of-a-kind.  It has a November ‘63 build date. The car has never had a body-off restoration, but appears as it did!
 
In addition I have all the titles on the car since new.

Benchmark In Blue
Rob Harper
Raleigh, North Carolina
’72 Stingray coupe

This is a Bryar Blue metallic, LS-5 coupe with automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and power windows. Built on June 6, 1972 as one of 1,059 coupes with Canadian base equipment, this coupe was shipped to Central Chevrolet Oldsmobile LTD in London, Ontario, Canada. It was driven less than 1,000 miles by its original owners,
and then spent the next 25 years wrapped in blankets in their living room. The car is unusually well preserved with only 1,775 actual miles.

The car earned NCRS Top Flight in 1998 and 1999 and NCRS-Zora Arkus-Duntov Mark of Excellence and the NCRS-Chevrolet 4-Star Bowtie Awards
 In June of ’99, it was Bloomington Gold Certified, with the Survivor Certificate of Historic Preservation and Benchmark awards, just one of 70 Corvettes to have ever received this honor.

His Own Project Shark Attack
Kerry Detwiler
Harleysville, Pennsylvania
’73 Stingray convertible

While your Project Shark Attack was going on, so was mine. This car started out decent looking , but in need of some TLC. I’ve owned it for over
13 years, and slowly turned it into what you see now. Most mechanical items have been done by me--engine, suspension, clutch and transmission, plus most of the interior. The body and custom paint were done by Denny’s Corvette of Pottstown, PA. The paint was finished in the beginning of ’07.

The engine is a 350 punched .030-inch over, with a Jasper bottom end, COMP Cams roller cam, Trick Flow heads, Hooker shorty headers (for a
’92 Corvette, modified to fit) and two-inch pipes back to the side pipe mufflers. Twin electric fans replaced the stock fan, and there’s no overheating problem.  It has 17-inch Torq-Thrust IIs with Toyo tires.
