I found a great website site for Corvette lovers and buyers. Check it out vetter’s.
Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle - http://www.corvetteblogger.com/index.cfmThe title was a blip of the comment that caught my eye to read the article and blog site for this vette.  I’m a sucker for older corvettes. Look what will be available for sale. Wow! she a beauty with fame. And she is just the right color to go with a bronze tan.
1957 Corvette Convertible
It was 1975 when the Boss broke through to the top of the music charts and the musicians who made up the E-Street Band rode that wave with him. Drummer Max Weinberg recalls growing up in the Beach Boys era when songs like Shutdown romanticized the Corvette Sting Ray. And when car enthusiasts become successful as Max Weinberg has, having a large garage full of classic and antique cars is the norm. At the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California, Max Weinberg will be offering several classics including a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette. Max describes the Corvette as a trailer queen, totally disassembled and restored back to new…better than new as Weinberg states in this Forbes Auto interview:

“The Corvette is absolutely a trailer queen show car. It’s like a brand new car. It was completely and totally disassembled, and Dominick (Salvemini), who I think is one of the premier restorers in the country, because of our personal relationship took even greater care than he normally would. And normally he’s A-plus, plus - this is beyond. He is very precise, let’s just say that. So this car is stunning, the color is stunning and it’s essentially a new car - it’s a new ‘57 Corvette. And it was one of the editions with the radio delete and heater delete, which was a very specific function. This was a car that was meant to be driven fast. One thing we did do is we lowered the engine compression a bit to accept regular gas, because if you kept it with the original compression, the higher compression, you’d need jet fuel.”Max’s 1957 Corvette will be offered by Christie’s Auctions on August 16th at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, California.

Thanks Forbes Auto for the lead to the Corvette website and a nice article from Max Weinberg.
