Default Sad day!

78SA headed to it's new owner out east
For the best, tho, new owner loves it and actually is adding miles to it
He took and sent me this pic. I couldn't bring myself to watch it take that last trip down the driveway!

That's a heck of a driveway!

Will anything take it's place in the garage?

Did you have it long? Kind of like losing a friend. My other corvette drove away back in Dec. the gal who owns it loves it too, so it went to a good home.

Mike, I referred someone to you last week who was looking for a perfect 78SA and he wrote back saying it was sold. Guess you need to change your screen name to KapsPC.

Something will have to fill the void it's the circle of life!
Good thing the new owner trailered her outta your driveway.
Otherwise he may have rolled the odometer over
Now thats a driveway hope the snow is gentle there

You made a person very happy today and suspect you will be feeling that way again soon! Is that a driveway or cart path for the par 4 front lawn you got there ?

Yeah, driveway's kinda long. Seems longer with a foot of snow on it
Grass keeps me busy(no time for cars?)
Had it 11 years. No plans to fill the empty spot in the barn. At least not another Vette.
Still got the Pace Car and the 2 79s.
Didn't really expect to sell the SA. My forum for sale thread was 2 years old. Buyer came across it and that was that!
Actually "sold" the Pace Car last year but backed out at the last minute. May go ahead and let it go next year.
I AM keeping an eye on a local car for sale seeing if the price comes down a little more. Embarrassed to say what it is

You're embarrassed to say what it is but you might be parking it in your garage.. There's no shame in cars or music for me. So, TELL US WHAT IT IS!!!
