Re: Another Vette Rots away (427V8)
I know what you mean, there's a 71 or 72 that has been sitting on cinder blocks for at least five years now about two miles from my house. The guy won't fix it and won't sell it either. Just happy to see it rot away? :crazy:

What Im getting at is every corvette has potential, it just depends on how much time/effort someone is willing to put into it.

Don't forget about $$$$$$
Yes yes that is important...I forgot to add that. :blueangel:
But then again, if you have the time/effort, and can keep motivated, so what if it takes you 5-6 years to peice it together bit by bit or so what if you have to pack your lunch for those years, and only buy food once a month. When you got done you'd have one awesome automobile, not to mention all the weight you would have lost... :lol:

I drive by an 82 everyday that has been sitting in a driveway for 15 years !
The flat tires are slowly sinking into the driveway, what a waste.

Now, that little girl turns heads!!! Rocker panels should be black; RH mirror is a late addition; no rear letter kit that I can see, BUT SHE'S PRETTY! :yesnod:
We could have a deep and lasting relationship, she and I. Too bad her equally beautiful sister has been in my life for the past eighteen years. :)

Ahh, wasted vettes. Such a shame. Guy up the street from me has a 1972 he's been mowing around for the last 3 years :rolleyes: I asked him once when he was out mowing around it, and he said it's definitely NOT for sale.
My dad looked into a black 1969 for me that is in similar lawn ornament condition. Seems it belongs to this old couple's son. And, their son left home in the early 1970's for California. It's been sitting in their back yard since he left. They haven't moved it or heard from him since, but are keeping the car for him in case he ever comes home and wants it :confused: (can you say we're in denial):nopity
