Modern medicine gave man sight So he goes and buys a Corvette

\"Blind<\/p>\n

What do you do when modern medicine gives you sight after a lifetime of being legally blind? Well of course you buy a Corvette, sight unseen (pardon the pun). Oh, and then you go get a driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n

Mike Schickerowski was born with Nystagmus, a condition where the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled movements that result in extremely blurred vision. As he explains it, \u201cIf you\u2019ve ever taken a photo with your camera and moved it slightly, or the object moved, and it\u2019s a blur, it\u2019s the exact same symptoms\u201d, \u201cMy brain would never interpret the image as a steady picture \u2013 it was always a blur.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schickerowski, a Canadian resident, traveled to California for the experimental procedure, which was a total success. He can now see and do things he previously could not. But the thing he always wanted to do was drive. The people he knew said that, living in Alberta, you need a truck, but he wanted to go a different direction, and settled on a bright yellow C7 Corvette Grand Sport instead.<\/p>\n

What Mike likes about this Corvette:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 1975 Convertible brings back so many fond memories of the late seventies and early eighties when the convertible was no longer available, and the prices started to rise sharply. \u00a0I would attend the big Corvette Show in Knoxville TN where they had a great auction and huge selection of Corvettes. It was held in a massive tobacco warehouse, long abandoned. It was so much fun, and the excitement level was a new experience, and never before seen. Well one year a flame orange 75 L82 4 speed convertible hit the block. It was loaded with options and still on the MSO. I remember the dealer on the block was Bill\u2019s Sports Cars or something like that.<\/p>\n

I guess he was quite the Corvette dealer collector and had some great ones. I miss those days back in Knoxville. That show was put on by Ronny and Byron Cooper. In fact, those guys are still doing a Corvette Show back there to this day. Ahhh to be young again and carefree. Just me, my dog and my Corvette. Circa 1978!\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t often get in 1975 Convertibles, so we were happy when this beautiful example was presented to us! It came out of an estate collection belonging to a former client of ours. It\u2019s been extensively restored, and retains much of its original interior, and is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n

The matching #\u2019s L48 engine has been slightly \u201ctweaked\u201d and has excellent power. It\u2019s mated to a silky smooth shifting Turbo 400 3-spd. automatic transmission. It\u2019s equipped with air-conditioning (not currently functioning), p\/b, p\/s, p\/w, tilt\/tele steering column, both tops and aluminum YJ8 wheels.
