    The biggest selling point of this car is that it was once own by the first person to set foot upon the Moon, Neil Armstrong. This car was delivered to Armstrong on December 15, 1966 from Jim Rathman Chevrolet in Melbourne Florida with the intention to provide our astronaut a Corvette. According to the eBay seller, “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 seller also claims that the car has never been driven since September 1981, that’s 30 years!

    From the pictures, the Corvette has some scars although it stays off road for a few decades. Four wheels wells are with damage and fender flares were added. The current owner claims that the only unoriginal parts on the car are the wheels, carburetor, water pump, and mufflers. The carburetor looks brand new under the car hood. However, with the advance internet technology we have today, it isn’t hard to source the original parts and restore it to its former glory.

    There are two reasons that make this car possible to fetch a price up to $300,000, one being it was once owned by the hero that first set his foot upon the moon, and another is the ultimate barn find condition. Now we are going to ask the same questions as we asked when we tell the story of the fourth oldest surviving unrestored Mini. What will you do if you stand a chance to buy this car?

    1. Clean it up and just keep it in garage.
    2. Not even bother to clean it. Prefer to collect it in barn find condition for another X years.
    3. Source for all the missing parts and restore it to its former glory.

  • Paris Hilton and Michael Schumacher ride my Mini Cooper

    Paris Hilton Michael Schumacher in Mini Cooper

    It is true or is it just a dream? Paris Hilton and Michael Schumacher are riding in my Mini Cooper? It happens yesterday when I was driving my car heading to California. Paris Hilton was sexily standing beside the highway waving her hand to me. I stopped the car. She smiled brightly and asked if I can give her a ride. “Of course, it’s my pleasure Paris”, I said. When we were on our way heading to California, another odd thing happened. The seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher is waving his hand to me. Again I stopped the car. He walked to my window and asked if he can join the ride. Then, three of us, Paris, Michael, and me are heading to California. We sang and chit chats on our way. That was a happy day. Sadly, there is no scene of Paris Hilton getting out of the car but she did say “I love your car!” What a dream! Both superstars are in my car!
