This 47 year-old car didn't just run when it was parked a quarter century ago, it practically still had that new car smell.
A 1967 Chevrolet Corvette with just 2,996 miles on the odometer and one of the most interesting tales to tell is going on sale at the Mecum Auctions Houston event in April.
The 427/390 hp V8-powered coupe was purchased in 1966 by 30-year-old Don McNamara of Colorado Springs, with $5,000 he won on a trip he made to Las Vegas to celebrate his retirement from the U.S. Marines.

Retired at 30?
I would love to have that car, just don't have that much coin! Maybe I could take up a collection from the members of the forum, hmmmm......................?
I am in for a buck and a half, as long as I can drive it Wednesdays. [;)]
Nice car.
Retired at 30?
In 1966, probably a medical retirement.
