Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

I just looked again.   Then I see the car is in Akron Oh.  Cuyahoga Falls and Akron touch.  I sent you a pm with my information.  Give me a call when you pick it up and we can say Hi.

Where in Akron is Mojo Motors?  I looked in Yahoo yellow pages, and it's not there.   But I think I have seen it on South Main Street.  I don't know for sure.   I am going to go home up Main Street tonight and look for the place.

It feels like I'm 10 years old and it's 4 days until Christmas..... Monday will be a long day - flight leaves at 6 A.M. and I need to make it from Akron, OH to Louisville, KY (staying with family there). Tuesday is a nice drive back to Huntsville, AL with a pitstop in Bowling Green - can't wait to park in a Corvette only parking space. I'm bringing the camera with me for pics.

Anyone notice the late(81-82) diff in this car? Might need to look very closely at how it is attatched, John. That mod. requires some frame modifications/welding, as well as some trimming of the underbody/storage compartments. Been there/done that!

I noticed this car too.  Seems like a fair deal.  After owning muscle cars for 25 years, I bought my 1st Vette a year ago.  Theres no going back.  Even better then the car are the folks you meet along the way!  Enjoy.  KeBo.
