I like this storage setup for your cars, how much did that lift system cost? And what kind of Height clearance do you need for it ?

I have soffets that you can see that are part of the heating system, the roofline of the GN tucks in quite nice.
The lift was from Gregsmith and was around $1800. I set it up myself with the aid of a friend and an engine hoist to lift/move the heavy pieces.

I last took mine out on New Years day and with it going up to 50 this weekend with rain, there is a chance for a drive on Monday.

Got to pick up and drive my new girl (white 73 350 manual) home for the first time last week on a "warm" day in between storms. 60 or 70 miles on dry roads. Only time I've ever driven a Corvette before this was when I was 16 and my mother's boyfriend came over with his white 69. He was a professional racer and had been working on this car for a year trying to get everything right. Finally got the bored out BB to stop over heating. He tossed me the keys and said "have fun". Even at 16 I recognized that this car was way too much for me. I drove her a few blocks and took her home safe and sound.
Now 35 years later, the next time I got to drive a Vette, it was my own.
Felt awesome.
C'mon Spring.
