Default Sold my Vette

Well I sold my car this week. It will be on a road trip next week to it's new owner. I'm sure I'll miss it down the road. I'll still check in on the forum, as this is a nice place with really great people. I have my new car (project) lined up. Here's a picture. What do you think?
Flame suit on...fire away.

Two things. It dosen't look like a project. It's not a Corvette. Nice TA nonetheless.

wow! project??? Nice 76 TA! Does it still have the original 455? The 455 TA has always been an object of my affection and is in the top 3 of my favorite muscle cars! I would like to see more pics of it. Good Luck

I would've rather had the Vette but that's just my opinion. That is a sweet looking TA. There is nothing wrong with knowing what you want. Good luck to you.

Did you grow the mullet out for that car?

Nice car though, classic T/A's are alright in my book!

Nice T/A...I was always partial to Z28's…essentially the same car sans the screaming chicken on the hood!

Almost gave up the 'Vette dream a couple of years ago so the entire family could cruise together (wife and two daughters)....solved that problem by getting two 'vettes! No back seat drivers!
