Before I go, though, I am moved to say that Jack the young man far exceeded his Corvette in style, looks and substance. One could say that he was popular not because of his assets, but in spite of them, Jack was so modest and so generous and so hard-wired with reflexive kindness, that he could get away with having a flash car and a handsome face without arousing gimlet-eyed envy among his male peers. He was liked, really liked by everyone in our crowd. He was poised and self-possessed without being aloof, quiet without being stony, and amusing in a way that was always graceful, softly wry, never wounding. And he was blessed with more than a little magnetism. Reading the other comments here, I rejoice to hear that he never changed.

I can once again add to this story......
If you missed the fact Jack was the first and third owner. He had sold the car away years ago only to look for it long after he sold it away. He found it and restored it as it was a special car in his lfe.
Glad I helped ID the car, best to all.......

WOW is all I can say. I met Jack back in the early 70's. I sold him a set of "427 COBRA" alum valve covers. Found him in 2005 in HERE !! Still have the PMs from him. Sad to hear of his passing . 
"ELizabethWalter" are you from NH ???

I'm from Manhattan originally. Went to Dickinson College, in PA. Met Jack when we were both at Summer School in '65. I was taking Chemistry in prep for my freshman year. I have no idea what Jack was taking. I obviously had no idea what I was taking, either; the highest grade I ever got in the course was 35 ;-) Jack and the Corvette had more allure than the Chem lab ;-)

Read the World Registry of Cobras & GT40s 4th Edition (pages 500 & 501). It says Jack didn't own the car until approx '04! Thomas Payne owned 3020 for the first 2 years of it's life. I'm just saying...

They are talking about the Corvette, not 3020.
