Book Description
" Few authorities in the hobby could be counted on to provide this much entertainment in a single volume. Discover Kevin Mackay'Äôs stories of finding and restoring valuable Corvettes, including the 1960 Briggs Cunningham Le Mans racer that took first in class, Steve McQueen's 1966 Corvette, the 1967 Bounty Hunter racer, the 1968 Sunray DX #2 and #3, and chassis #003 from 1953. It's hard to imagine that a car with the racing pedigree of the Rebel Corvette could be neglected to the point of it being lost. Winning the GT class at the 1972 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't enough to keep this car from becoming just another old wreck out behind the shed. It was many years before Kevin Mackay came to rescue this prominent machine. If you like L88 Corvettes, no one has bought and restored more of them than Kevin Mackay! Finding, documenting, restoring, and selling rare and valuable Corvettes is one of Mackay's specialties. His business, Corvette Repair Inc., is considered the premier Corvette restoration facility in the country. "

Falling Onto Cotton

Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
A restauranteur is faced with a choice he thought he’d left behind when his dying uncle, a Milwaukee crime lord, taps him to become the next Don. Haunted by the murder of his fiancée, Chance McQueen—once a musician on the cusp of success but now a restaurateur—knows alcohol and toxic relationships are choices slowly killing his soul. Trying to balance the scales between guilt and redemption, Chance takes under his wing a fatherless teen and mentors him through the dramatic ups and downs of first love and the stutter steps of budding adulthood. But Chance is the last living relative of Don Carmelo, a Milwaukee crime lord, and when Chance’s uncle taps him to become the next head of the family, his life spins out of control like an empty scotch bottle kicked down an alleyway. Not sure he can rescue himself; Chance focuses on rescuing Winnie. Awkward, sweet, and soulful, 19-year-old Winnie is suspended in the inertia of waiting for life to begin and not being sure where to start. Navigating first love, parental loss, and trying to find purpose, Winnie knows he must grow up—while Chance is figuring out he’s not quite the man he knows he needs to be. With a lover whose secret agenda is to destroy the family, her mobbed-up husband who wants Chance dead, and a hotshot U.S. Attorney poking around, it will take all of Chance’s street smarts and the naïve courage of his teen protégée to survive a criminal empire built on murder.
