So Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is putting up not one but two cars for auction on eBay, a 1955 Bel Air and a blue 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Calloway C12. And boy does that 'vette make me drool.
I don't have anything against the burnt orange Bel Aire per se, but it looks like something that Fonzie would drive - and I'm not Fonzie. I personally don't collect automobiles just yet, baseball cards are more my speed.
I'm looking for something to drive - and if this Corvette was good enough for Earnhardt, it should suit my needs just fine.
As it turns out, there were only 19 of this model ever produced - so it's a collectors item that doubles as a high powered driving machine. Sign me up.
Before I can bid on it, I had to apply to Dale's eBay account for permission to bid. LET'S HOPE HE SAYS YES ... after all, my money is as green as anyone else's, right?
Oh yeah, here's the car...
