well as of right now all I have done is remove the tranny, bellhousing and the driveshaft.
I need to build a shed for all of these parts the garage just isnt big enough!
but i also havent done anything else because me and my wife are preparing for our 'big' wedding for next weekend so I have been running errands... no time for the vette right now..
I still have a few issues I need to fix on my ZR1 that I cant get to because she is driving it around

We found 4 ontario oranges
Only one really fit what she wanted and he wanted 13,900 for it, we just didnt bring any money with us.
It was a 72 350 automatic that was pretty nice over all It did have a recent repaint that had a few issues nothing that could be repaired.
There was a 71 454 that sold for 14200 It had just finished restoration but like the other still had some issues, It sold at the auction I really wanted to get that one and she wasnt complaining we watched them auction it and I almost died I couldnt believe it went for so low!
Im comming up there with money next time and im going to drive away with a few vettes!

So many cars, so little money! I'm surprised to see the 71 big block went so low also. Do you know if it was an original motor? If not, that would explain it, but if original then I agree, it went for a bargain price and you missed a good deal.

Johnny,
Nice work!
I am putting the body back on the frame of the 71 convertible project this weekend. (that is if the owner has finished the frame restoration).
I had to hack the car way up to get access to the rusty body frame. You need to really check all that out now. You would be surprised what can hide up in there!
Good luck

The 71 had the original motor and it was just restored or so they say it looked pretty good I did crawl under the back to see if I could feel the tank sticker but it had a brand new gas tank
but someone got a sweet deal!
Ill find one someday!
I have a new prospect its a 72 454 that was originally ontario orange and it has front end damage so if I can get it for a song I might be in there
