I took particular pains to assure the deal was consummated correctly. We have no more documentation on this corvette. The last items sent or given to the purchaser (2nd owner) included a credit card size metal plate that accompanied the corvette from the dealer in Tulsa. The corvette was purchased from Tulsa Chevy dealership in 1971. It traveled from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Fort Hood, Texas. From there, in 1972 it was driven to Satellite Beach, Florida, where it was kept by my wife, until my return from Vietnam. In 1973 I was reassigned to West Germany, the corvette and the wife followed. While being shipped to Europe some kind of oil was spilled on the corvette, resulting in the door insulation rubber to moderately deteriorate. the corvette was driven on the Autobahn in W. Germany some, but not as much as I would have liked. I was very busy on my post as a Courts-Martial Prosecutor and later as Chief of Justice, somewhat equivalent in the U.S. to a U.S. Attorney. The corvette first was in Worms and later in Kaiserslautern, W Germany. It was taken on one long trip, I drove it down to Monaco via France and back! On its return to the U.S. in 1976 I picked up the corvette up at Port Bayonne, New Jersey (via Bremerhaven W. Germany) It had to be pushed in the Port's yard requiring a new alternator (still have original) to be installed in Bayonne. The corvette was driven in the Washington D.C.suburbs, Following its return from Germany, The corvette resided and was sold in the D.C. area....That's about the entire history of the car that I can presently recall.
