Rarest Corvettes Bill Towers Collection
Starts at Larry's Garage

The video is almost an hour long, but if you’re into Chevy’s and Corvettes you’ll love listening to this guy talk about his experiences. The younger guy with him is his friend who owns Stingray Chevrolet. Today was one of the highlights of my years spent in Florida. We started out at the breakfast gathering at Larry’s Buckland's garage (I hope I have his last name right). Then we went on to see Bill Towers collection. I mean, HE HAS THE REAL “PASS IN THE GRASS” DALE EARNHARDT CAR, and also worked on it way back when. He was a GM engineer for years, he worked with Smokey Yunick, as well as many other famous automobile industry people. He’s the father of the 4 bolt main. He was instrumental in the development of the 427 engine, he’s worked on Dale Earnhardt’s championship winning cars as well as Darrell Waltrip’s. He was instrumental in development of the L88 and ZL1 engines. He even designed the famous GM rally wheels. Near the end of my video you’ll see another video with Rick Hendricks, Ed Welburn (GM retired chief design Engineer), as well as a retired GM CEO, Jim Perkins, visiting his garage. A dream day.

Bill, that's the problem, non of us knew what we had. We thought this would last forever. We had no concept of mortality nor growing old. Somehow many of us made it to appreciate yet regret what we were stupid to squander. Each one of us would have win a mega lottery to have at least 5 acers and a mega barn/shop to keep, restore or Hot Rod properly. Hind sight is always 20-20. Very annoying if you ask me. But the memories, good times and history are something very well worth passing on as you do very well Bill.
