Due to medical problems I have NOT driven any of my C3's since 2006 ....and NONE of my other 2 Corvettes at all since the summer of 2007... Nor have I driven my daily driver since January of this year...Even missed Carlisle for the first time in the last 22 years
I had no intention of selling any of them BUT what the heck do I need with 5 Corvettes that with luck I may be able to drive next summer.
My 76 is completely original ..4 speed L48 low option car has moon roofs not the normal glass t-tops, Plus the wheels are the the mag style not rally wheels ...and I installed a 68-72 removable rear window in the car...Exterior is perfect with the exception that the drivers door handle has thinning chrome but yes I do have a brand new replacement handle...Mechanically it runs fine BUT...really needs valve seals installed..have those too..just has not been a major need as the car only smokes when initially starting up after a week of sitting..
IF anyone is really interested ..I would consider selling it to someone who likes Corvettes ..not perfect and could use a new dash pad..and I have no clue if the radio works as I disconnected that years ago when I was installing new gauges etc...and never bothered to hook it back up...I'm into driving the my cars the 98 is the only one I own that has a Radio that is actually connected...I'd rather listen to the exhaust..
If I had a clue as to how to post a picture I would...

Bob's Car sounds pretty good too. I have always liked the moon T's he is talking about. They are pretty rare but snazzy....

This is an easy fix.
The 73 is a great car and a one-off model year.
It has the cool back of the early C-3's and the great nose of the mid to late years.
But I maybe a little biased!

[QUOTE=dsireme] The guys at works here said to buy an Arizona or Texas car. That I wouldn't have to check it over because it would be good just because it is from there. I just let them say what they wanted and didn't argue. [/QUOTE]
There is some "Truth" in that statement.

Very little, if any, IMHO. I bought my Vette in San Antonio from a guy that's still active in car clubs in that area AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, HE FRIED MY A**. Don't think just because it from Texas or NM or AZ, you can't get burned. There's unscrupulous people everywhere, unfortunately.
Luckily, you have something I didn't have at the time, a whole bunch of great folks lookin' out for you. 

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Thank you Joel....
Yep that is the 76 that I may part with... paint is perfect (92 Med. Quazar Metalic Blue + 4 coats of clear coate) shot by a guy how has painted "dozens" of Bloomington cars...
Just have not been physically able to drive any of my cars this year and most of last year ...but things are looking up .. drove my sons Automatic Jeep Grand Cherokee last week...its got a big brake pedal so I can't miss it...I kept his jeep and sent him home in my truck ...
IF I sell the car ...I honestly would like to seel it to a C3 Corvette lover... I have stated many times that it is my favorite "overall" Corvette I own...(74 72 76,79 & 98's)

Well looks like the trip to St Louis is on. Mike doesn't take Debbie anywhere so we need to get her out.
Plus, my car is getting detailed and Zylon'd today so I have to show it off to someone. No comments on the mini van Tux.
