Default still in the game!

as some of you fellas may remember i had been planning on trading my 81 c3 for a 1969 firebird. anyway the deal fell through and i had forgotten about my ad still being up. any way to get to the point i ended up with a newly painted black over red 77 c3. and a pocketful of cash to boot! the 77 is of course a project and will require a good bit of the interior odds and ends. poor fella bought the car and just started ripping and tearing on the interior. definitely need a new upper dash as he ripped the old one out too. i havent ran the vin number yet so i dont know if shes an l82 or not. could i get that lucky? i really loved my 81 but the 77 is a bone stock mostly original c3 unlike my 81. i honestly believe this to be possibly be the better of the 2. ill post some pix tomorrow.

Corvettes are better anyway. Better looking and more power.

I'd give anything to have the engine back that I built for my '81 Z28
