Every once in a while we get a really Special Car. Well here is one of those examples! A 1980 Chevrolet Corvette originally owned by an American Hero, Col. Buddy Brown of the United States Air Force! This car is in its original condition. Never wrecked, never painted... and is in extremely nice condition! Seriously... SHOW WINNING CONDITION!! First about the Colonel, he is known in particular for being in the Lochards Skunk Works program, and is the original pilot of the SR-71 Black Bird. He flew that incredible plane all the way up to December of 1994. The man has served our Country for quite a while, including combat in the Korean War... and obviously is a decorated officer. We thank him for his service... and for preserving a remarkable car!

The car... had resided in Knoxville Tennessee up until 2008 with Buddy. Sold in 2009 to an owner in NY, and then once again to another owner in South Carolina 2013. The car has a new carburetor, but the original in a box, as well as an aftermarket radio, and also the original radio in the box. We also have the original air cleaner for the car. Other than maintenance required, and service related issues, the car is original. Miles, paint, interior etc., all original.

With the car also comes a folder with the owners manual, the warranty book, copies of the original title, info on Buddy, the second and third title copies. Also the Pre-Delivery Inspection Procedure sheet, both build sheets, detailed service records from when Buddy owned and drove the car while stationed in California. The last owner of the car from whom we bought it, lived here in Texas and provided rcpt's. back to 2013. Records help account for mileage accuracy and of course ownership. We are delighted to offer this car.
