Third Generation Enthusiast takes Delivery of new C8 Corvette<\/p>\n

While dad remains old school with his 1975 Corvette convertible, son Mark of Pacific Beach, CA recently took delivery of a new 2020 Corvette Coupe after a wait of 8 months. The black C8 was ordered from Courtesy Chevrolet in San Diego with the 2LT option, GT2 carbon fiber seats, two tone interior and dual-mode exhaust. Mark turned in his 2016 Camaro SS to upgrade into Chevrolet\u2019s premier showpiece and has his eyes on a Z06 in 2022. Although this is Mark\u2019s first Vette, dad Rick of Castro Valley, CA, recently purchased his 11th Corvette, a totally original air roadster with only 73K miles. New or old, both Corvettes are a testament to the Corvette passion being passed down from generation to generation!

What Mike Likes about this Corvette:
\u201cThis 1979 red on red Corvette brings back fond memories of my early days on the show circuit in Southern California. I would spend hours and hours preparing my 1978 Corvette for shows from San Diego all the way to Los Angeles to compete for best of show or first in class.<\/em><\/p>\n

Examples like this car are far and few in between, and with barely over 6000 original miles driven, this is the way the General delivered Corvettes back in the 70s. They weren\u2019t perfect as they were hand built on an assembly line and they were painted in primitive facilities compared to the quality and technology we know of today. That\u2019s where the terms Survivor, Benchmark and Bowtie found their roots using examples like this car to write the judging manuals and preserve unrestored examples to show the rest of the world exactly the way the cars were built back in the day!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"1979<\/p>\n

The car has been beautifully preserved over the years, but no extensive cleaning has been done in order to to preserve the originality. You will notice the typical of the time poor dealer prep leaving paper along the sill plates and some plastic on the seats. Underneath, there is still tape on the u joints from the factory. This is a very late \u201979 production car, explaining the wide date range for the tires (bottom of the tire pile) and the \u201980 style catalytic converter.<\/p>\n

\"1979<\/p>\n

Documents include original factory and dealer paperwork, owner history including letters from some of them, and to top it all off, the car has been the recipient of the prestigious N.C.R.S. 4-Star Bowtie Award!<\/p>\n

There are so many items in the Corvette-themed collection that he changed the way Guinness World Records classifies car collecting. Anyone can go on a giant shopping spree and buy a bunch of cars, Mallon said, but accumulating over 2,000 unique examples would take years. Eventually Guinness created a new category for \u201cCorvette items,\u201d and in 2012, Charles was awarded the world record.
