He has become such a world-renowned expert on Corvettes that his knowledge has been the focus of hundreds of radio interviews and newspaper articles, as well as a long list of industry publications. Terry continues to lobby for the collector Corvette community with the same passion and affection for over the top marketing that he first had when he bought and sold his first Corvette (a 1964) in 1971.

 Howie Ursaner Madison, Wi. |
Howie Ursaner is a native New Yorker currently residing in Madison. Howie's need for speed was fueled early. He spent junior high and high school under contract as a professional slot car racer where he traveled the country winning on the small track but Howie wanted a street racer. So, the day he got his driver's license, he purchased a 1966 427 convertible. Within weeks, Howie had flared the fenders on the '66, put on wide tires, changed the Silver to Blue, and converted the body to a '67. With a far away look, a smile, and a wink, Howie will only admit surviving "those good ole days."
Leaving the frenzy of New York for Wisconsin , he proved you can take the boy out of the city but you can't take city out of the boy. His first Midwest purchase was a split window out of a barn. He restored it, launched, and destroyed it at 135 MPH. Howie reminds us, "My next vette was a 65 fuelie coupe that I drove everyday for six years at a sensible speed." In 1988, Howie began buying, selling, and restoring Hemis, Cobras, and Midyear Vettes. He's sold many to museums and private collections. He has a teenage daughter and when he is not looking for Vettes, he spends time at home enjoying the slow lane. If you have a car for sale email Howie at: proteam@proteamcorvette.com |
