66 Stingray first start

This is my friends car, he needs something to get to school so I told him I would help him get it running. Today we drained the gas, put in a new battery and it fired right up! It needs some new hoses and the brakes bled and it should be good to go.. Not bad for a first car, freaken lucky lol. It hasn't been ran in like 7 years and hasn't been washed either so we did that afterwards.

Hey,,, there's an NCRS decal on the windshield !

(or, maybe not)

better be sure he has bus fare in his pocket when he goes to drive that to school. He may need it

He shouldn't, it runs perfect. Forgot to take some pics but the motor is pretty much brand new, his dad had it rebuilt before he passed.

Nice. Extra taillights, fender flares, no front bumpers, weird hood...that's the first time I've seen the C-3 fender vents on a C-2 though. I think I like it.

What's with the Saturn stickers on the doors?

Edit: Those seat covers are terrible though.

Bad thing about two seaters is you can't cruise with your buddy AND pick up girls.

and it's a chevy, that thing should run all day long.

Sure ya can, trick is have 1 girl straddle the console, make sure shifter linkage is in long throw, and use 2nd & 4th gear a lot. If you follow my drift

Yeah I got the 99 Trans Am for the ladies lol.. Seems like every weekend we have 4 or 5 people piled up in that thing.

I think it looks good, looks like more of a muscle car than a laid back cruiser. I would changed out the rims and rear tires though, they stick out a little too much.

We had 5 neighbors come up to us in the few hours we were working on it lol.. Definitely an attention getter and we never left the driveway. Makes me miss my 80 Trans Am, I could pull women twice my age in that thing.
