well, im from texas, but military moved me to new york.. 
anyway, my wife said if i found a vette for less than 10k i was aloud to get it. well, 3.5k later, here i am. ive definately got my work cut out for me though. i was sent the car along with all the parts that were supposed to be on the car.... key there being supposed to be......... luckily my wife is currently in texas, or id have to pick all the parts up outta the living room 
the car does run with a (4years ago) rebuilt 350. supposedly it was bored .030.. holley 4 barrel with a bit of a shut off grunt. the previous owner kinda let her sit for a while, so now im having to awaken the beast within. power steering leak has kinda slowed that wakening, along with a problem with the back brakes. i havent had time to determine if there is a real problem with the brakes or if it just doesnt have fluid.. but i had a question needed answering so i came here (tech.. fuse block) the interior is worn, which i guess is a good thing, cause i know at least one person loved driving this car, and if they loved driving it, they must haved loved it at least a little, and taken care of it a little. one day ill figure how to post pictures. overall, i love this car, and i look forward to the countless hours i will be putting into her
