Hello everybody , I have finally purchased my first vette. I have spent 31 years with GM (retired) and built many project Chevelles & Camaros for fun but never thought that I would ever own a vette because of the associated costs. Well recently I started clearing out old toys in my building because we are thinking about doing some downsizing because our kids are grown, I sold a 72 chevelle convertible that I never got around to working on that I paid $1100.00 for healthy profit and did nothing to it and came across a pretty clean 74 shortly after, my wife was convinced easily so I have a new toy.It is drivable project at this point.
