Speical Pictures

Just thought I would share these photos with you. They are from the day we gave my Dad his 60th B-Day gift. It's a 1989 Corvette with 39,XXX miles on it. He was sooo shocked that day. He has had Corvettes in the past, but had to sale them when he had us. The last photo is of the two of us at my graduation from CAPCOG. My father just passed away on Dec. 6th, 2008 due to a massive heart attack. I am so glad we were able to give him one last Corvette. I know now every time I drive it, he will be with me.

Sorry, missed spelled special!

Currently with Sunset Valley and did two years with Lakeway. My Dad did 25 with APD, before he moved to Hays. He ended with 36 years.

nice damn vette for 20 years old, im sure he loved it bro.

Nice car! I bet your dad was stocked!!

Porno red interior FTW :)

now being 89 is that still TPI?

What is FTW?:doofus:

i think so. lt1 and 6 speed came out in 92 if im not mistaken

FTW is for the win

yea,u can barely see the rear of the tpi plenum in the third pic

It's a 5.7 TPI engine.

Man sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad worked in our county and all were saddened by his passing.

I feel for ya man. I lost my father to a heart attack and watched him die in the ER. Worst thing I have ever witnessed. The one thing I did for my dad before he passed was go to church one Sunday with him. It made him incredibly happy. I found this out from one of his friends after he passed. I still miss him every day. He has been gone 6 years.

Great story. Sorry for the loss. Neat car too for its age.

TPI until '92. You could get a 4+3 manual in '89 or a 6-speed with a ZR-1 90-95.

That is a really good story, and a damn fine car

Nice car man, I'm sure he loved it! Sorry to hear about your loss.

Sorry about your loss. I heard about it. Nice one bro. He was Happy at least. Had a son that followed in his foot steps, a nice car, a long and great career. You plan on swapping out the ole motor for an lsx?
