Spoke with Owner #6, Robert Whitey N.

I called Robert "Whitey" N. today.  He owned the car from ~1987 – 1989 in Rockaway, NJ. 

Whitey’s dad bought a Sunoco gas station in 1967.  Whitey saw the corvette come in from when he was a young boy. It was before high school, he was probably 13-14 years old (about 1972).

He loved the look of the car. The owner was an attorney, William L. of Randolph, NJ, and Whitey always told him that he’d like to buy the car if he ever sold it. Whitey and his younger brother John owned the car together. They borrowed $15,000 from a friend to buy the car. They sold the car in 1989 to Michael D.  He was not happy to see the car go, they really enjoyed the car.

The car was always blue/black when he bought it. It did not have the fuel injection unit. He rebuilt the u-joints on the rear. He doesn’t have any other paperwork. He said that William L. mentioned that the motor was replaced, maybe under warranty.

The pictures below are from 1987.  The car is Daytona Blue with black interior.
