How a son found and bought his late father's classic Corvette

Scott Bachman was just three-years-old when his father acquired the car of his dreams, a 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible. Despite his young age, Bachman, now 42, remembers the machine well. But just two years after it was purchased, his father, while working on the 'Vette, suffered a stroke and inhaled carbon monoxide from the exhaust. He passed away when his son was just five years old.

Eventually Bachman's mother sold the car, but not before allowing the youngster to drive it briefly – the first car he ever drove. Bachman never forgot about his dad's Corvette, and after a bout of reoccurring dreams this past May, all involving his father's beloved '73 Corvette, he told his wife he would find the car and bring it home.
