George, lets hear the story on that vette, year-model-how attained, etc.
It's a bit long and you know me Bob.
Suffice to say it's a mutt of sorts, a primary model of one year that is in QQ status, aftermarket mods and some other year's stuff thrown in 'cause I liked certain panels better. No where on it does it say "Corvette" stripped of all emblems and trim including antennae. Only the Stingray emblems remain. I powder coated the luggage rack black because not only did it come out a very cool accent but you can't get good chrome anymore. Pretty tame under the hood.
Some obvious upgrades but nothing hairy in the way of a 350 (I spent twice on other motors in many other cars and trucks than what I have in this) You can see that my wheel selection rounded off a clean look that was a simple soft mod that just came out looking sharp without all kind of "stuff"
It's showing it's age believe me. I was never afraid to take it out and the only reason I don't much care for wet weather is the handling. I don't mind it getting dirty. It has seen many beach trips to LBI and seen has done a little PBX work itself.
Attainment was... It was my Eighteenth Birthday gift to me.
My parents always provided for me but in no way could afford me this car and I had so many others in the works what was one more. I actually was in the lot looking for a particular 4x4 Chevy truck that had my eye but I saw some things I didn't care for about it and I am not really much of a 4x4 guy and walking back to my car I passed the Vette. Minus alot of what you see. I had a vision for it instantly. I bought it with me own hard earned $$ and through all the years I still have it.
Oh it's got tales to tell believe me.
Some of the the other car's I've had and built were really hairy in different ways.
