Well here we go: I found another one (the first three we checked didnt work out) This is a white '76 stingray coupe. I really hope it's this one, but one other guy is meeting the owner before me and if he buys it I guess thats that. I'll keep you guys posted.

Good luck


Just remember don't rush these things. You and "your" vette will happen when the time is right.

Do you have someone who really knows Corvettes going with you?
I found that to be key when looking for the right one.
There is so much to know about the C3's.
So many things to watch out for.
A trained eye can spot them easily.
Someone who is anxious will overlook the obvious problems.

Good luck hunting.

First off the guy who met with the seller first bought it, so that was the end of that.
Second : Yes. I do have a guy who really knows his stuff looking for me. I really lucked out because he offered to find me one after I brought it up at a party.
he has found other people in my area great muscle cars. He has his own private garage where he builds and restores Hot rods. He is a friend and really talented gearhead. I desparately want to find it myself but I know I'll regret it. so the search goes on.

My first vette I stumbled into. I had looked at two and they were definitely not the ONE. The third one I looked at was setting in the driveway when I pulled up. Nice and black and really shiny. We took it down the road and I was hooked. Turns out the car was much nicer than I had given it credit for. That car eventually got totalled and I had a hard time trying to replace it with another.

gees, Eddie , did that vette that flip over and roll a few times? You sure did replace it with a great looker!

Maybe your old vette that got totaled is the same one I bought. Gosh, I got so screwed when I bought my vette. The history of my car is so checkered with shotty repairs and pervious neglect and accidents. Had I known what I know now, That car would have been the last car I would have bought. But after many hours and dollers, Its in good shape and better than ever. I love her now.
