Dad Cries When Surprised With Dream 1966 Corvette That He Always Wanted

A beloved dad sobbed tears of joy when his family surprised him with a bright blue 1966 Corvette Stingray he had dreamed of owning ever since he was a child. Lynn Raynor, 74, from Hampstead, North Carolina, grew up making kit cars and watching Route 66 as a child, dreaming of one day owning the iconic car. As time passed, Lynn's obsession with Corvettes only grew, and though he once owned a later, less-renowned model for a brief period in his 20s, he had to sell it to support his family. Lynn never gave up on one day owning a '66 Nassau Blue, soft top, 327 cubic inch engine 'Vette with 350 horsepower – but following his retirement, he was making do with upgrading a '87 Corvette he found in a junkyard. That was when Lynn's wife, Sandra Raynor, 62, came up with the idea of trying to source her husband his dream car. Sandra called on the help of her daughter Meagan and son Cody, who searched on Facebook Marketplace and managed to locate one around four hours away in Simpsonville, South Carolina. As a foil for the surprise, Meagan, 33, and Cody, 29, told their dad that they needed help looking at an old 1971 GMC chassis. When they approached the seller's home, Lynn joked: What kind of car owner keeps a rusted chassis in such a nice neighborhood? Then, when he stepped out onto the drive and saw the stunning blue sports car looking back at him, the moment became too much. Lynn sobbed tears of joy as his kids informed him that his dream car was now his.
