Rarest Corvettes: Bill Tower's Collection 1-5-2017 & Larry's Buckland's Garage

The video is almost an hour long, but if you’re into Chevy’s and Corvettes you’ll love listening to this guy talk about his experiences. The younger guy with him is his friend who owns Stingray Chevrolet. Today was one of the highlights of my years spent in Florida. We started out at the breakfast gathering at Larry’s Buckland's garage (I hope I have his last name right). Then we went on to see Bill Towers collection. I mean, HE HAS THE REAL “PASS IN THE GRASS” DALE EARNHARDT CAR, and also worked on it way back when. He was a GM engineer for years, he worked with Smokey Yunick, as well as many other famous automobile industry people. He’s the father of the 4 bolt main. He was instrumental in the development of the 427 engine, he’s worked on Dale Earnhardt’s championship winning cars as well as Darrell Waltrip’s. He was instrumental in development of the L88 and ZL1 engines. He even designed the famous GM rally wheels. Near the end of my video you’ll see another video with Rick Hendricks, Ed Welburn (GM retired chief design Engineer), as well as a retired GM CEO, Jim Perkins, visiting his garage. A dream day.

Wow, Wow, Wow! Thank you so much for your time. (X 100) What an amazing piece, no, make that a chunck of history. I've been a bowtie & small block guy since I can remember, but this 55 minute clip of yours put a whole bunch of new wrinkles in my brain. I will have to watch it again for more input.

Looking forward to where you take us next. That is if your hip is up to it. Although If I may venture a guess doing what you love walking about these beautiful works of art is better therapy than at some clinic. :)
