George H W Bush Rode in my Vette

select-fire
I had 2 1996 Corvette Grand Sports at one time. First one was purchased off of Pres. Bush's Air Force One Pilot in Houston. Man said he was at the Houston Airport and ran into the President. Secret Service had a fit he went for a ride in the Corvette. I sold that Corvette and kept the nicer one of the two..

    Framed Picture of both of them next to the Vette was good enough. It went with the sale. Not many can say a President rode in their vehicle.

    Well top clearance to fly Air Force One.. for the President there is no use trying to convince you. Mans word is well enough with the pic of both of them and the Vette. Pretty cool owning it for a while. [:D]

    BTW... I own 2 vehicles that Earnhardt's have driven. Both of Dale's sons Kerry and Dale Jr.

    Better than an intern that a president rode in. She had a dress for her alleged ride. [:p]

    [:D] The only reason I bought my current home and paid top dollar is because the seller told me that George Washington had slept there once.[:0]

    My very smart wife later straightened me out by convincing me that they did not have modular housing back in the 18th century!! [:I]

    Sorry, my puter is low on green ink.

    Actually it is very most my favorite. Admiral Blue. Last year of C4 Corvette. Last Year of transmission attached to the back of the engine. Has a Z-51 suspension 1 of 190 built.. Rear fender flares for the massive 315/35/17 ZR-1 tires and wheels. It is the lowest roof height ( ground to top of roof )production Corvette ever built.

    Which helps them sell better? Dale jr. riding in them or the president? By the way that is a beautiful Vette.

    The Dale Jr. Prototype was tested by him for possible production. And a side note... Prototype vehicles of any kind when sold at auction are the rarest of the rare. Very very seldom do any come to market. And when they do it is a rare.
