Whoa! How did this happen??!!
I sold my '82 the day before I left to do some contract work in Iraq. I get an e-mail from my Dad saying the C-4 I sold him a couple years ago is up for sale. He's giving me first crack at it. There's really only one answer here. I guess I'm a 'Vette owner again. It's a big pile of spare parts that's registered as a 1990. I painted it 1993 Ruby red when I sold it to my Dad. He had the trans rebuilt with a few upgrades, I redid the rear suspension, brakes and tires while I was down there, he also had it swapped to a hydraulic roller cam. (L-98) He's gonna GIVE it back to me for 5K. He also had the A/C completely redone. How can I say no to that?????
Oh, here's what it looks like now........

I don't say this often, but that's a great looking C4! I LOVE the color too.
My Dad is getting too old to drive and is talking about giving me his new Chevy Equinox.
I could probably get a fast 25 grand for it and that would nicely finance the '69 Coupe that I'd like to have.
