    Perhaps I should have been more precise. I was born and brought up on Staten Island, but I located the Green Monster just outside of Zuerich. Switzerland, that is. Of course, I live here too. In 1997, the car was spotted by a local Gnome while vacationing in Florida. Said Gnome bought the car on the spot (I tend to buy postcards on vacation, but I suppose his budget is different from mine), had it shipped over here and converted (different headlights and a KMH speedo) with the intention of driving it every day. Well, legend has it he drove it twice and it scared him so badly he traded it for a C5. Takes all kinds, doesn't it?

      Years ago I let an insistant girlfriend drive my '63. Not only were the tie rods set for the fast ratio, so was the clutch linkage. Ad to this the CR four-speed and 3.08 axle behind the Duntov-cammed engine for some real fun trying to get it launched from a stop. After she managed to get a couple of blocks down the street, she pulled over, said "Thanks", and never said another word about it. That's part of the visceral appeal of vintage Corvettes, especially with a solid lifter engine. Definately a guy's car!
