Closed the deal, got second vette
Finally closed the deal, and brought my second vette. A 1970 convertible project car. It's still in the barn, but I got title in hand and soon it'll be in my driveway. It's been saved from being parted out.

It has not run in 12 years, but you guys have given some hope that it should run with some patience.
Anyone have a 1970 Qjet? That's what car needs besides brakes.
With the car, I have new vette brakes brake kit that is 12 years old. Should I use them or buy a new brake kit?

Congratulations, must be a great feeling. Enjoy
The brake kit is probably still good, let me know if you don't want to use it.
I am sure someone has a q-jet, check with Lars.
I am sure the 70 registry would be very greatful if you registered your new toy.

Re: Closed the deal, got second vette (KingRat)
Details; 1970 Mulsanne Blue (976), Black Leather Seats (suppose to be vinyl (400), 350, 300 HP, Auto, Factory Air, Both tops (Hard and Soft), 127K miles. Body and frame in good condition. Minor rust (clean as my 1978)
Missing Carb, missing brakes, missing rear compartments. Has not been turned over in 12 yrs. Covered with 12 yrs of dust and sawdust.
Comes with new brake hardware (new 12 yrs ago), new carpeting (rear not installed yet, new leather seat covers (installed), interior basically dusty with some sawdust. spare tire carrier removed, but present.
Have not trailered home yet, but have all loose parts (not many).
Could be an easy project (if engine and trans will run?) or more difficult (if rebuilds required?).
More details when I have it home, up on jack stands, start replacing brakes, and investigating motor?????????? It's a good restoreable project car.
