Mal's 1981 Corvette

Here is an article written by Vette Magazine about one of our club members, Mal Pitcher...

Awesome Aussie!
Mal Pitcher has been a volunteer fire fighter with the Country Fire Authority in Stawell, Victoria for 17 years. For three years, mal has owned and bee working on a beige over bronze 1981 coupe.
The importer that Mal bought the Shark from, shipped it from California, where apparently it spent its whole life after being sold brand new by Joe MacPherson Chevrolet in Irvine, California.
Mal always wanted a Corvette and sold the '36 Australian-bodied Chevy Businessman Roadster he'd been building in order to get his dream car. The '81 Shark needed some TLC, and Mal has been busy delivering just that, having, rebuilt the carburettor, replacing the radiator, front bushings, interior, and door seals (among other things). The Vette is, and always will remain, a left-hand drive car, even though it now resides Down Under. Thus Mal can't register the Vette until its 25th birthday because of right hand laws, but that gives him some time to finish the restoration.
