Vette(s): 1981 red with silver interior,350(L-81), 350TH, glass t-tops, aluminium rims, 1980 Black/ Black int., 350 GM crate engine/350TH, 1976 black/ saddle int., L-82 w/headers, holly carb, Hypertech ignition

What is wrong with me, I just bought another Corvette!  Now I'm up to three. This one's a 1980 and in fair shape.  It drives great, the only problem is, the PO put a GM crate  motor in but didn't get the smog equipmnt put back on correct (Calif. is REAL strict on smog setup!!)  so it wouldn't  pass inspection so I got for a song. It was just to good to pass up !.......... OK,  NO MORE CRAIG'S LIST FOR ME !doh

YODA....Impulsive you are little Jedi. One must have some control with the Force. The Corvette Force can be overwhelming...YODA



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Wow!  Apparently, unlike many of our members (including myself), you're obviously not married!


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I keep telling my wife that a collection starts with "1". She don't buy it and keeps hitting back with that "New furniture" line. Heck, the furniture's only about 33 years old and it's never been caught in the rain, so I think it's just fine.LOL

yeah jeff,  you gotta figure that furniture has basically been "garage kept" for 33 years so i'm sure there's no rust on it yet.  What you have there is "trailer queen furniture" Wink   I'd hang on to that.

If I ever get a barn for storage, I'd like to have one of each generation.
Then I could have a different driver for each day.
 
Yes, I am waiting for the C7 model. That's my next Vette.LOL
