I'm working on purchasing my first one - '68 convertible. Should be a proud owner on Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'll have to enter the next Virtual Car Show. I'll definitely peruse all the beauties, though. Great idea!

Can I enter my buddy George's car? He's not on here or very good with PCs. But he built this frame-off all himself (except paint) over year and a half. Must be nice to be retired and have all that time on your hands! One owner, originally blue std 350 auto. Now every aftermarket goodie you can think of. ZZ427, TKO 6 speed, sidepipes, coilovers, Wilwoods, hydroboost, EFI, Vintage Air, 18 (or 19) inch wheels, electric headlights, custom hand made electric wiper door opener. etc. etc. Featured at Corvette Carlisle.

My very new to me 69 with a 71 454 custom in it. Overall it is solid, but needs some detail work. The biggest thing it needs is suspension. Its plain worn out and sometimes bottoms out. Just gotta convince the wife! I love it though and don't care what it needs. Might take a while, but I'll get it there.
