| We purchased our Corvette back
in 1993, AND SOLD IT IN FALL OF
2000. Please visit our web
site devoted to our new purchase, a 1996 Grand
Sport convertible. Over the next four
years it underwent a thorough and extensive incremental, and historically accurate,
body-on restoration. Close to $50,000 (documented) has been spent on a complete
rebuilding of the car including: engine, carb, transmission, clutch, brakes, interior,
paint and body, chrome, suspension, etc. It had 118,000 original miles, and we
were the eleventh registered owner. Fortunately for us, this Corvette was not
seriously molested, and other than an after market intake, it was a VERY well
worn, and original vehicle. Even the original spare tire was in its carrier.
Soon after becoming Corvette owners, we joined the Corvette Club of Ontario
(CCO) and later, the National Corvette
Restorers Society Ontario Chapter (NCRS). With each
show and event we attended, we learned more of what Corvettes are all about, and
what steps we had to take to transform our car into a concours and show winner.
We also found friendship and camaraderie with a great group of fellow enthusiasts.
Stu served two years on the CCO exec as Competition Director, and was responsible
for organizing the club show events, such as indoor event displays and show n'
shines. Visit these next few pages and get a glimpse of what Corvette
ownership can be like, including all the restoration work, vehicle details, club
activities, events, and even some helpful links. We hope you enjoy our album,
and look forward to hearing from you. Photos and images have been optimized
