Visitors to Bloomington Gold’s Great Hall this year were immediately greeted by barn fresh and very rare 1957 fuel injected Corvette recently rescued from years of storage before reaching the main display area. The car was presented with all the dirt, dust, and debris still present on it. The Bloomington Gold folks were taking a survey to learn the public’s opinion on what to do with the car. To help out, take the survey on corvetteblogger.com and they’ll forward on the results.

How should this 1957 Corvette be restored?

  • Leave it as a barn car
  • Clean it up (but don’t restore it) and use it as a learning tool
  • Tear that baby down and restore it to concourse quality

I have seen too many instances where people continue to pursue wrong courses of action because they do not take the time to think critically about what has happened in the past.’’

There is at least one such mechanical fuelie in the Club. It usually appears at Bella Vista.

I voted restore it.
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!
