Notes:
  • 11-14-2013:  From Fred Neff via email:  "Theresa Freeman, who did the recent posting has observed the car for over 27 years and is familiar with it. Her description of the car appears both accurate and helpful, however, I do not know with any degree of certainty what the accurate true mileage is of the car and the estimate put on by Theresa Freeman is an estimation based on her own calculations from her own observations."
  • 11-13-2013:  From Theresa Freeman of Bloomington, MN via email:  "Dave Ferguson, former NCRS judging team leader & former owner of 024, visited 060 in 2006 & stated, "I was impressed at the beautiful and authentic condition of the car. The exterior body showed no sign of ever having even the slightest damage to the body or work done to it. The original cloth of the fiberglass was an example of the car's high state of originality. The exterior paint was correctly repainted being careful to maintain the type, color and luster of paint for a 1953 Corvette. Bodywork was as originally delivered with appropriate fit, finishes and rough spots.... The supercharged system's installation in Fred's car appeared identical to the one I had found on my own car. It was clear that these cars were done by the same entity." The Corvette Restorer, Vol. 36, No. 3, Winter 2010, page 9. Fred acquired 060 in 1973. The car interior & exterior is superb. 060 is in excellent operating condition & is driven regularly during the summer months. Mileage is estimated."
