xccter,
I was on Kent Island this morning. We had lunch at 'The Narrows', nice!! Can you make a suggestion for the next time we're there? The weather and breeze were wonderful. Hope you're there now!
Regards,
Alan

I'd much rather have the Vette than the Camaro. You're just going to have to carry the Corvette torch at work

Thanks for the send-off guys. I will probably own another vette in the future, after the kids are out of the house, and I get my 3-car detached dream garage built. I was ready for a change, and a '68 Camaro is my first love. Had one back in high school and college and rebuilt it from the ground up.

This website has been great. I learned a ton of stuff from you guys. As for the selling price, I'd rather not say, as the buyer is a member of this site. I will say I have about $3 to 4 k in the car that I didn't get back out of it; but hey, it's a hobby, so it's all good for me.

Rock on -

ATC

I think my '71 is missing your car already, so I took it for a drive this afternoon.

How was your trip to FL? Nice having that new stereo huh?

You need advise, you know where to come.

Enjoy!

The trip was llllloooonnnnggggg. 16 1/2 hours straight through with lots of traffic and lots of construction. And a few heavy showers to keep it interesting.

Didn't listen to the radio much, it was a little hard to hear at 70+ mph with the windows down.

Blue was my first color choice with orange a close second. Yours looks great in the pictures I've seen.

I'll get some pictures of it and my C6 together when I get a chance.
