Default What did you get your Vette for Christmas

I know there are a lot of us Corvette guys and gals who try to make sure that we have the best that we can buy or afford for our Corvettes. The Corvettes being like our children we want to make sure that they get a Christmas present also, so what did you buy your Corvette for Christmas?? I do not know how to post this pic so if someone will send me there e-mail who knows how to take the pic from an e-mail and post it on here that would be great. I bought my Yellow 67 Vette Coupe and 54 Motorama Car a 1988 Corvette Challenge Race Car from original owner and driver number 27. The car will ship to us me and the 67 Yellow Coupe and the 54 Motorama Car just after the first of the year. The Challenge Car comes with all papers from day one and documents as well as the Race Suit and Helmet that was used to race the car with. So Merry Christmas To All and to your Corvettes also.

Money tight this year, so nothing, but really does not need anything for this year. Springtime will get alignment that it needs.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....

Nice purchase Mike. I like those Challenge cars I bought a nice 69 convertible recently. 44,000 original miles and a real factory sidepipe car. 16 factory options including 350/350.

See you in Kissimmee

Got carried away. Pulled the motor and got it freshened up. Got a new clutch. That's all sitting in the corner while I clean up and paint the engine compartment. Maybe a new paint job next Spring/Summer; but knowing the way things go that'll probably be next Christmas's present.

Send it to me if you want me to post the picture. I posted a how to in one of the stickys for tinypic.com that only takes about 20 seconds, but I'd be happy to post it for you.

I got a 66 Mossport Convert from NC, it came Friday and a big Thanks to Jack(65ggvert) for checking it out for me. I think she will get 2 front calipers and a brake light. She got a bath and wax Sunday
