I went to visit my mom a month ago and I did it I finally Drove Dad's Vette What a rush it was i even have to admit I punched it Boy can that baby move. It was on consignment when I got to her house my hubby pick it up and I took it the next day to get it smogged boy the neveda smog is just the same as it is here in california, Mom still wants to sale it none of us kids can take it on. I want it to go to a vette lover, dad would be the last to have let it go but he just didn;t out last it. Boy I got to to finally drive my dad's last Vette I swear he was sitting in the seat next to me saying go for it punch it. I wish that one of you could or know someone to help my mom sell it.

I just take one day at a time I have birthdays next month i finally turn 42 and I will have a birthday later that month of 1 year still here. Like my old daddy use to say. To each there own.Well if you could help me I would be thankful.

It sounds like you and your family have been through a lot. I send well wishes to you and yours. It would be helpfull if you added what year the car is and a little about it, options, mileage, general condition, etc. You also should list this in the "for sale" section of the forum. Good luck.

I agree with Joe. It's a bit of a process but maybe someone like in your family can help you with posting this in the C4 Cars For Sale section. A detailed list of what the car has on it (coupe or convertible, removable glass top, automatic or manual transmission, year, etc.) and maybe even a few pictures plus an asking price, would go a long way.

Good luck with it. Tell us if we can help.

We remember your father quite fondly. He was a gentleman. Check in the regional section of this Forum and get in touch with some of the Vegas/Henderson Corvette owners. I'll bet one of them would be glad to get the car shined up and help you market it.
My wife and I will be at the Hilton in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving '06. I would be glad to stop by and take a look at it, take some pics, etc. Glad to do anything I can do to help out.
Take care of yourself too. Life is too short and precious to kill yourself over a job.

Good to hear from you again Melody. Yes, I remember your dad well and always appreciated his humorous (although lengthy

) and informative posts. He is a gentleman and is missed by the forum in general and the C4 section specifically.

As suggested, try to contact some of the local Vette folks for a good detail and mechanicals check. Knowing your how your dad took care of the Vette, there shouldn't be that much to do. You can list it here in the C4 sale section and get some good national exposure for it.

Take care.

4 years later and we still have the vette Mom says she wants to sell it but I think she just can't really let it go. I drive it everytime go up to Henderson I think she might give it to me I finally became a Asst. Manager and I can afford it now. We are just waiting to see what she wants to do.. If it were mine she would have the best of everything..She still runs like the wind and she is fine....
