Cry  OK - tough as it is (as I'm sure everyone can understand) after owning my beloved '76 for 27+ years, I have to sell as I'm moving and will no longer have a proper place to store the car.
 
The car has the original L48 in it with only 98,000 original miles, deluxe interior package, 4-speed manual transmission, fiberglass transverse rear spring, pwr windows, steering, brakes, etc. - the full package.  Along with the redone interior, custom paint, custom sound system/speaker enclosures, American Racking wheels, spoilers, sidepipes, etc. I put in over $10,000 to restore her mechanically.  She runs great but don't worry - there are still a few weekend mechanic "opportunities" available. LOL
 
The car was originally silver, but did a custom paint job (as shown) that is showing some age, but still shines up nicely! 
 
I had the car professional appraised in 2009 and it was valued at $17K.  I'm asking $14K online and I'll take $12K from any C3VR member.  I really want to see her go to someone who will appreciate her.  She's made it for 35 years and there's plenty of life and fun times left in her!
 
If you're interested or know someone who would be, please contact me.  I have tons of pictures - including many restoration (before/after) pictures and happy to provide whatever information I can.

Well, I have GOOD news and BAD news....
 
The GOOD news is the car sold  Clap
 
The BAD news is the car sold Cry
 
I'll miss her and hope some day to be back in the 'Vette world again.  It seems like she went to someone who will enjoy and appreciate her as much as I did for so many years. 
 
Enjoy your rides, all...

Vette(s): 1976 Stingray, blue, 4 spd., one owner (me)

It will be even harder for me to sell my '76 as I bought it new.  I even built a garage, just for it!
