1974 L48 350 Vette |

My
first Vette. Purchased from
Vista (now Jet) Chevrolet in Federal Way, WA.
Rolled this car near Redondo, Washington in the summer of 1983.
You know that problem with Vette brakes getting air in the lines?
I was late in replacing the calipers, and the roll occurred
because I hit the brakes going around a corner, and the pedal
disappeared on me! Pemco insurance treated me fairly on the total, and I
kept the hulk. Later sold
the remains for approx. $2500. Ironically, latter, after I'd owned the
'74 454 Vette, I thought I'd like to have power windows in it.
I went to the Corvette swap meet at Puyallup Fairgrounds, and
there was what was left of this car, for sale, including the power
window stuff. So, I bought
the power window gear! I
never did install those power windows in the 454 car.
I may have that stuff stashed someplace still.
I also have a couple pieces of broken fiberglass from it
somewhere too! |
