Default On her way south to See3

Well See 3's new lady is on the truck and headed to Jacksonville. David came up and inspected her in person a couple off weeks ago and the transport company just loaded her up for the next chapter in her life.

I hope David gets some good use out of her, knock on wood she never made me walk and hopefully David will experience the same. I sold the car because I had only driven it about 1300 miles since getting it back together and I just hated for it to sit in the garage when someone could get better use out of it and I could use the money somewhere else.

Thanx again Wilson. We enjoyed our trip to your beautiful part of the country and I sincerely appreciated you spending so much time going over the car and educating me on the numerous aspects of restoration and maintenance that are still new to me. You did a remarkable job on this restoration and it means even more to me owning it knowing that you approached the restoration fully intent on keeping the car rather than selling it.

I'll take special care of her and like I told you earlier, I'm sure this car will still be turning heads and putting smiles on faces long after both of us are gone. DQ.

With every end there is a new beginning, sad for the seller but happier times ahead for the buyer. Good luck to both of you, she's a beauty!

Probably not the color I would choose for my dream Corvette, and my Wife despises Yellow cars (says they are a sure sign of a mid-life crisis), but this was absolutely the best car at the best price I could find in my year long search, and I am so far very pleased with the deal.....

I actually think Screamin' Yellow is a classic 70's color.

From the pictures it sure looks like you got a great C3. Good luck with it and enjoy the ride.

To seller your hard work did not go unappreciated and went to a caring new home

A win win!

It will grow on her. I felt the same way until I looked at it for a while. That's why I think I'll paint the Camaro Yellow. A little different yellow, Butternut Yellow, still yellow. I was worried may two yellow cars was to much yellow but the red 71 can always sit between them.
