Default My '70 is SOLD

Hey guys...feeling funny right now...I just sold my '70 to a guy from California. His name is Robert and he is registered here on the Forum as Rottenrob. Him and his friend are driving it from New Orleans all the way home to Santa Barbara. They are hitting all the landmarks along the way, and will have the time of their lives.
I on the other hand am home feeling very funny. I have a '96 CE LT4 I am going to pick up next weekend...so I am moving over to the C4 Section....but will miss all of you...I will come visit often if you will let me!

Sorry to hear the 70 is gone but the 96 CE is my choice also for a C4. Come on back you are always welcome. Good luck with the 96

Eric,

Sorry to see you go (leave the C3 site), but we know you won't be far away. Hope to see new pictures of the '96 CE, but I must insist on the same hood ormament that you had on the 70. Let's see,....... what was her name?

You guys are a trip! I can't believe you remember that picture with Beth, the Saintsation on the hood!! I surf all the forums, and don't mind jumping in in any section. So I am sure you all will see me here from time to time. I also KNOW already that my C3 WILL be missed by myself, my wife, and two daughters. I was just ready for a new experience, and I am sure one day I will return having another C3...only big block and 4 speed next time around. In the meantime, I will be learning about the LT4 which I have heard so many good things about!

Went to the track today... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=240397

Just when we thought that your "fever" had broke . . . Oh well, can't save'em all. I'm sure that the '96 CE LT4 will provide you with just as much enjoyment, only different. That '96 CE LT4 is going to be a nice addition to your stable along with that future big block C3. :seeya

No problem, by the time we get back to the track I should at least have my exhaust done. Now if I can only get the extra cash for the MSD box and distributor. I want to see 13's the next time I run.
