Dan and Trish Coble From Punta Gorda
Florida, submitted their Corvettes to our Readers Rides department because, "We wanted to share
our good fortune with other Corvette lovers."
Last summer, after winning a 20-year battle with Uncle Sam, Dan
and Trish decided to fulfill their life-long dream of buying
a nice Corvette to restore and enjoy. Trouble was, Dan liked C3s
while Trish preferred C4s. But when they couldn’t find a clean C3, Trish
won out when they located a 9,000 black-on-black 1994 LT-4 at Roger’s
Corvettes in Orlando. A few days after taking delivery of the C4, the A/C
controller malfunctioned, so the Cobles took the car back to Rogers for a
repair. There they spotted a new arrival — a black-on-silver-gray 1982
Corvette, a one-owner with under 17,000 miles and fully optioned. "Needless to say, our garage is filled with our
dream cars," Trish said. "And the bonus is
that we have detailed information about the history of our ’82, all the
way down to when the engine block was cast. We consider ourselves incredibly
lucky to have stumbled onto two such fine examples of Corvette history."
