Currently, I have told my wife and daughter that after I pass call provette67. I trust Pancho enough that they should take his offer if he wants to buy the corvette and if not, have him sell the corvette for them at whatever rate of commission he thinks is reasonable.
Polished my 67 ragtop for the winter with a nice coat of NuFinish. Satisfyingly shiny now! Forgot how easy that stuff comes OFF, unlike so many other polishes.
Hi , you have brought up a very good question that many of us will face in the next few years . Mentor a relative or someone you want to have your car or sell before you are not able to ...

Was expecting more replies. No relative and not selling now. Perhaps, I will sell when the time comes. However, life takes you by surprise and the chose is gone. Thank you for the reply.

We're supposed to get 8 inches tomorrow, I can't wait for the salt trucks to show up (yea right). Today I put some Stable in tank , ran the 66 to nearest gas station with non-ethanol & filled tank. I wiped I the car down with soft cloth & some detailed. Last on the list was a goodniight kiss & tuck it in with cover . Depending on how bad the winter is ,it could be resting until March or even April . I'll check on it from time to time. COME ON SPRING
Yesterday called the gent I sold my 67 inquiring if he wanted to sell it back to me. He said would consider and call me. Called today with a number, thinking I will pass. Sold it to keep my GTO so grandson could ride in backseat.
The battery died so I pulled the corpse out and went to local JC Penny to get my free replacement again. Turns out that Firestone handles the Penny battery replacement now so they gave me a new Interstate. Forty years later and I get a free battery.
I retired in 2008, having survived lung cancer and ending up with one. I restored a '70 Chevy Short 4X4, a '71 Blazer, partial restore of a '70 Burb, sold them all and restored a '65 GTO hardtop and a '70 GTO vert and just recently gave them to my kids. Bought a basket case '69 K5 Blazer which needs every thing and the shell and frame are still at the body shop. Last July, I was able to get my '61 C1. I've been busy working on it. Today I took all the bolts /nuts out of the windshield frame. When my son and his family come up from NC for a week at Christmas time, he can help me lift it off. I believe I will take it to Glassworks after the holidays to have it rebuilt. My car came with a hard top and a soft top frame that was a bent up mess. Had a soft top installed after straightening up the top frame only to see the windshield frame pulling up enough to expose the upper edge of the windshield when the top was clamped down. The C1 was my bucket list car. I'm almost 68 so these two are the last.
I finally finished the battery and alternator relocation, and got back on my a/c install yesterday, removed the hood , took out the old heater box side panels fresh air vent , defrost duct and old duct work ,etc, installed the condenser and drier, will route the hoses today and hopefully get the new unit mounted
Got Vette off lift to drive in cold weather. 23º here in St. Louis.
Holley Sniper EFI performed better the expected. Cold start was easy -- Idle great -- no gas smell -- pedal responsive even with cold engine was smooth.
Also first time to check out Heater -- worked great.
Got lots of looks/thumbs up in early morning heavy traffic.
BTW,,,,,Went to White Castle for breakfast
