Hey, that's cool. It may not be a Vette, but at least she's into the car scene. My wife couldn't care less.

Thats a great car , my dad had one new in 79. Was sorry to see him sell it. Cool options, auto high beams, radio control on floor. He kept the tool kit and umbrela from it and still carries it in his car. Gold grill was a nice touch.
