The original owner enjoyed the car until 1967 when he was laid off from P&W and returned the car to the credit union were it was parked outside for sale. Bill a Pratt & Whitney Engineer first saw the car for sale and the asking price was $3550. 00 which happened to be the payoff on the car loan. It only had 4. 00. miles on the odometer and gold line tires. Second Owner: Bill was considering another 1966 Mosport Green Corvette across town on a used car lot in West Palm Beach. The other Corvette had A/C and couldn't justify luxury of A/C which added $650. 00 cost. There was evidence that the car was tapped on the right front corner.
