Wow! This has got to be one of the NICEST things I've ever seen on the "Tubbies". As a 67 year old "Sci-Fi", NASA and techno junkie, this brought up a lot of great, positive feelings. Thanks, so very much!
This car is one reason I own a ‘69 427/390 4sp! My Dads cousin worked for NASA (not an astronaut, engineer) and he used to drive a Silver one from FL to Maine. I’ll never forget that silver ‘69 pulling into the driveway. Took me until 55 to get one but I got it! Mr. Reed your are the coolest! To see that in ‘71 and know! Best Corvette story ever! Thanks Hagerty!
Fabulous 👍,this era and these cars evoke great memories of a time that will never be repeated ,as a young boy I was fascinated with the moon landings,I wish I could go back and live it again ..
I am glad you got the Corvette because it it a piece of history and one of them is setting in NASA in Florida it the museum you can see the corvette there it's the same color as your Corvette
Instead of having the camera moving across all the details of the car we see the owner with the car out of focus in the background. IT'S ABOUT THE CAR, HAGERTY.
What's hilarious the Soviets did something similar! No the Cosmonauts didnot get a Corvette, they got a Gelgule! A step up above a Lada! Not a very exciting car! But it was transportation!
That belt buckle thooo let us not forget how Alan Bean destroyed the color tv camera for his moon landing and then after apollo 13 no one cared about lunar landings I blame bean for that lack of interest and funding ironic the only guy to walk on the moon as an artist and spent his whole life painting the lunar surface was the same guy who robbed all of human history the first ever color tv footage of the lunar surface
A true gentleman. One couldn't ask for a better custodian of this wonderful car.

Excellent documentary. Thank you for preserving automotive history Hagerty! 🙏👍

Bless You For Your Commitment, Mr. Reed...Truly An Amazing Story!
Nasa really should put this guy on the payroll. He's a better spokesman than the astronauts!
Very interesting man.
Agree totally 🇺🇸😊
Great vehicle and history. Thanks for upload this material :D
I came to see the car, but stayed yo hear the stories. Great video.
Apollo 12 was my favorite Apollo mission. Three buddies going to moon, rocking to "Sugar, Sugar" in zero gravity. Cheers.
I've dreamed about getting a 1969 Corvette.
Well done, sir!
this makes me cry :'(

I expect that car was once tuned By Smokey Yunick. He mentioned such in his autobio.
Never knew of these Corvettes.
Holy s**t that sunburn 🥵!

The black and gold paint scheme was based on the lunar module colors.
That's awesome dude but we're all just people man
Amaz-A-Matics made toy astro corvettes different looking very interesting it had a Brain
