Both Vettes Need to Go
Well guys and gals, it's time to give up this part of my life. After 10 Vettes and many years of pleasure and pain, I'm selling my 78 Silver Anniversary, L82, 4 spd and my 03 50th Anniversary Edition Convertible. They're listed in C5 and C3 for sale sections. I am selling my house and buying in NC to be closer to my daughter and grandson and am past the age of going into debt for a house. I've enjoyed most of it and who knows, maybe I'll come up with some cash and get another in the future. I've tried to help when I could and I imagine I'll still read the forum. It's become a daily part of my life in the last couple of years. Thank you to all those who have helped me when I asked. I guess if they don't sell, I'll hang around a little longer, too. Hopefully this can be done painlessly. Thanks again.

It's obvious you are a long term vette lover. I hate to see this, but I understand sometimes you have to make some hard choices. I hope to run into you again with your next vette 
BTW - both vettes are BEAUTS!!

Sorry to hear that you will be Vette-less.
I know that someday I too will have to depart from my 78 S/A and 98 Black coupe. I feel that I have about 20-years of enjoyment left.
Good luck with your move, and hopefully you'll find a good Vette in NC.

Jack, I'm sorry to see one of the good guys leaving. You've always been a regular contributor and your input has been really helpful on many occasions.
I hope your new home gives you loads of pleasure and you get to see those grandkids regulalrly. Best of luck and make sure you keep dropping by here.
I suspect there'll be another Corvette in your future when things settle down.
