Default Barn pics.....

This is really the first time I've posted pics of the Vettes. I'm always posting "detail" pics when I think they might help someone else out. Well, here's where the pics come from.
Yeah, I'm kinda fond of the 78/79s! The black one's been around for 22 years, the rest came along over the following years, the white one last year. That's my "driver".

Pity that you don't have more room to get the cars squeezed in there. Must be hell.

Obviously no one really wants those cars. If you will kindly pull them in front of the barn and give me an address I will pay shipping for them to my house!!!! Please throw titles in glove box! Seriously, killer Vettes, and hell, the barn aint bad either!

You should see it in the winter, 2 more Vettes and a nice firebird for friends!
Thanks for all the nice comments. Thought maybe I'd get bashed for posting.
Just trying to do things today around here to keep my mind off having one of my dogs at the vet. Simple "procedure" but one that requires putting the dog out! Not a big deal? It is when you only weigh 2 1/2 pounds! Wife just called, on her way home, everything went OK. Feel better now!
Bought my house 10 years ago because of the "barn". House garage just has the wife's car in it, NOTHING else. Wall to wall emptyness.
