Galen Dae

Galen was 38 years old in 1991 when he bought the Corvette from Glenn Folks. I was able to contact Galen, and his recollection of his time with the car was amazing. We exchanged several emails, with Galen providing a lot of background on the Corvette. The full text of these emails can be found in the Journal.

Galen did a body-on restoration of the car. In his opinion, at that time the body had not been off the frame, and the engine had not been out of the car.

Galen kept meticulous, hand-written notes of all the maintenance he carried out. The folder containing all his notes and photos was not with the car when I purchased it, but thanks to Bill Gould at Auto Ancestry, I was able to track it down. Another previous owner (Mike DiCola) still had the folder. He was kind enough to send it to me, and it's now the centrepiece of the car's history file.
