Looks nice, shame it had that damage and is now getting parted out. At least parts will live through others. Nice to see another young Vette guy and in Texas, I'm 24 and am on my 2nd Vette now. I also have like 20 something other cars ranging from parts, project, to drivers. Are there many other young Vette owners in your group over towards Dallas?

DAMIT.... I knew this day would come, I guess I am old now...

Well at least I can still say I'm not as old as my car.

It nice to hear about another youngan with multiple vettes. It's an addition right. I have 4 now at 18. It takes time but there is good money in parts cars.

I'm gonna turn 30, soon, for the second time. I bought my '72 when I was 23 years old and I still can't get the smile off my face after I drive it! Enjoy your cars for many years to come.
