Who knows this corvette

[Miss Independent]

One of our members sent me these pics and wondered who owns/owned this corvette .

From this article, it sounds like it was owned by Australian bodybuilder Robert Nailon:

QUESTION

Define the friendship you and Arnold built over the years. Elaborate on the time you spent with him.

ANSWER

I used to write to Arnold all the time, we exchanged many letters over the years on a regular basis. I would always include some humor to give him a laugh. When he came to Australia for exhibitions I would sometimes pick him up at the airport. I would drive him around in my 1971 Corvette (which was hard for him to squeeze into!) we would go to lunch, he would go shopping to buy presents for friends back in the USA, I would show him the sites etc. I invited him over to my house quite a few times for lunch and dinner – my mother would always give him the biggest steaks and a full plate vegetables! Arnold would stay in the local area in a motel and would train at the local gym with me every day.

Not sure why it was carrying ACT rego at the time. According to the ACT rego system, that plate is no longer in use.

Here's another shot:

Probably he would be able to get rego LHD in ACT
