I have a new addition to the family. I have owned the truck for near 30 years. Dad has owned the Corvette for near 50. The Corvette has now been passed on. I just need a little more room. With the Nova in the garage, I am a little short

63 original fuelie carbed now. build started around 2000-2006. It is what you see, dad likes the front end as it is, not a fan, but leaving it this way for him. He just said he is not putting money in it any more and needs some work, so I said hand it over. Doing the paper work now

Oooooh, that's gonna be fun. Congrats!

We need way more photos than this one. A few of the truck and Nova would also be welcome. We love 'em all.



Live well,

I love this picture. It reminds me of the late 70s when I started buying Corvettes. Every Corvette magazine was loaded (remember “Vette Power?”) with photos like this of midyears being customized, bumpers removed, headlights in the grille. Crazy paint. Cool.




Here’s my first from 1976. Same noise treatment, ‘67 hood, headlights.
