Christmas Count Down What You Getting Your Vette
Christmas is upon us pretty soon and I am sure that most of you or your spouse has done or are done with your Christmas Shopping, but are you really? What have you bought your Corvette This year?? I figure as much as I spent on my 54 Motorama Car and as much as I have spent taking it to Concourse Events and to MI. to have it on TV and to TN. for Vette Vues and then to drop it off at the NCM, I think it has had Christmas all year long. As for the 58 & 59 & 67, hope fully they will be going to a new home soon and the new owner can buy all the Christmas they want to buy for them.

Merry Christmas to you Mike! I followed your post all along . . . what an outsanding car you built - congratulations on a job very well done!!!
My car? . . . I've been planning to add power steering to my '66 for years - and I just "scored" a Steeroids PS system (brand new in the box) for @ 60 % the price of a new one! Oh yeah! . . . next year will be a great year for cruisin'.

I'm going to restore the appearance of my '65's engine bay to original. I have the correct winters aluminum manifold and 2818 Holley sitting on the shelf, I only need to get all the little fiddle bits to finish it off.

If this 58 I'm building doesn't stop giving me a hard time with each turn of a bolt I'm going to get it a one way ticket to a new owner.............
Wife and kids are done so the cars are next in line. The Z06 is getting new floor mats, the 71 a new battery and I have not decided what to get the 60.
The 58 will definitely be getting coal in its stocking.

FINALLY!
I found a factory original '65 grill in very good, driver quality, shape and it's within driving distance to boot. Going to pick it up Saturday. Thank you Joe Calcagno!

I bought my 66 a tank of gas. First time I've been able to drive it since breaking my hip and pelvis in August.
