When Kim Burroughs was little, she and her sister both had Barbie dolls and Barbie Corvettes, which were toy cars that Barbie "drove." Kim's was purple, and her sister's was silver. ⠀

Fast forward to 1997, when Kim's father John bought a 1959 @Corvette. She helped him push the car off the trailer when it was delivered to his house in Sunderland, Md. Kim was starting dental school in the Baltimore area, so she was not around to help him restore it. He promised that this car would be hers someday, "but I guess I got impatient," Kim said. ⠀

In 2015, Kim's boyfriend—who restores cars professionally—told her about a friend who owned a 1962 Corvette he had gotten in the 1970s. He had taken it apart intending to restore it but that never happened, and now he wanted to sell it. ⠀

The year 1962 was the last of the first-generation Corvette, and the best in Kim's opinion, because the car came with a bigger 327 V-8 engine. In June 2015, she paid $30,000 for hers.⠀

Kim and her boyfriend finished their restoration in October 2016, fast for a job that big. On April 8, 2018, they took the car to be judged by the Mason Dixon chapter of the National Corvette Restorers Society, in Havre de Grace, Md. The car earned a "Top Flight" award, the highest recognition.⠀
