I purchased my first Vette in 1963.   It was a 1958 Silver Blue Vette with a 283 cubic inch engine and two four barrel carburetors.   Sure wish I had it back today.

Then again in 1969 I purchased a new Cortez Silver Convertible with a 350/350 and a four speed.

In 1976 I purchased a 1965 Coupe with a 327/300, four speed.   I still have this coupe which is red with black interior.   It gets very little on road miles as it is now used for shows and a few Cruise-ins.

I first saw a picture of the new C.E.  in a car magazine and sent the editor an Email to get the address of the company that built it.   He sent me the information and I contacted AAT and Steven sent me a brochure on the C.E.  along with the cost to build one.   I spent several months and many hours on the Internet looking for a used convertible to have converted.   In my search I checked the Corvette Trader on the Internet and found that Fairway Motors in Hazleton Pa.  had a new C.E.  for sale.

I contacted the owner of the dealership Jim Corazza and Sales Consultant Carl Kotch and was able to work out a deal on the Silver # 16.   They delivered the car the following day to me in Radford, VA.
