Fan Friday: Jeff Miller's Corvette Dream
Welcome back to Fan Friday here at ClassicAutoStoreOnline.com! Today we features Jeff Miller's Corvette Dream. For years, Jeff had a dream—a dream that took root in his high school days. He had always wanted a two-tone 1981 Corvette, and now, that dream has finally come true. Maureen, his wife, couldn't be happier for him. Not only does he now have his dream car, but he also has the perfect hobby to keep him busy. "He needed a hobby," she says with a smile. "I'm not joking. This man will not spend a dime, but swears by the Corvette, and now we own both a C3 and a C4."
The Millers are blown away by the abundance of parts still available in the supply chain, which makes the restoration process all the more exciting. Maureen jokes that she hasn't seen much of Jeff since they brought "the old girl" home two months ago. He's been completely immersed in the restoration, doing everything himself.
Maureen fondly recalls the days when those big tires would have been an instant conversation starter. "I told him those size tires would have gotten him my phone number in 1981! That was the thing," she reminisces with a hint of nostalgia.
One of the many lucky breaks in the restoration process is the fact that this particular model didn't have a clear coat from the factory. "Half had it, and half didn’t," Maureen explains. With new tires already on, this Corvette is truly being spoiled, and Maureen couldn't be prouder. "She shines so nice!" she says, marveling at the transformation.
It’s clear that Jeff has found his passion, and Maureen is just as thrilled to see him bring his Corvette dreams to life, one part at a time. This Fan Friday, we’re celebrating the Millers and their dedication to preserving these iconic pieces of automotive history. We wish you many more happy miles, Miller Family!
