This corvette was delivered to Mr. Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, on December 15, 1966 from Jim Rathman Chevrolet in Melbourne, Florida under a program initiated by Mr. Rathman to provide our astronauts with a Corvette. They would keep the Corvette for a year and then turn it in and get a new one. This Corvette was bought by a NASA employee when Mr. Armstrong turned it in and was retained by the owner until I purchased the corvette from him in February of 2012. The Corvette had been in a climate controlled environment and not driven since Sept. of 1981. I had tried to buy the Corvette for the past 30 years with no luck until a phone call led to the purchase recently. As can be seen in the pictures the car has 30+ years of dust and has had fender flares crudely added by the owner during it's time in storage. The only thing that has been done to the car since I purchased it is to get the motor running where it can be moved about the garage...[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&item=251051174912" TARGET="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/armstrong_corvette01.jpg" WIDTH="400" BORDER="0"></a></center> There have been six bids to date, bringing the total to $120,099, still under the reserve. So, just out of curiosity's sake — are there photos showing Neil Armstrong ever owned a 1967 Corvette matching this model?
