getting kinda excited
First off let me interduce myself, my name is nick and i am a car jukie
i'm 31 and have owned about 15 cars/trucks, of which only 3 were not muscle/sports cars ( they were pickup trucks actully)
currently own a 1997 RamAir TransAm and a 2005 GTO ... but you ask, whay is this guy doing on a corvette website... well......
next weekend i'm going to go look at a new project. and if all goes well that following weekend i'll be giving it away!!!
project vehicle: 1972 corvette 350 4spd, t-tops, a/c, Ontario orange with saddle interior
one might ask " why give it away?" well while it would be given away it wound go far, going to give it to my dad. its a friend of his car atm who is the 2nd owner. my dad has had some recent health problem (although all looks great atm) and face it he isnt getting any younger.
car has been sitting in a garage/barn for quite a few years now. guy painted it, was putting the chrome back on it and the windows back in it and he was in a dirt bike accident and was in a coma for 6 months or so, when he came to he has no interest in cars. now that i think about it i might be able to get his 69 chevelle from him too, that would be sweet
but anyway, this is only place i have said anything about this, feels good to say something lol
hopefully car isnt in horriable shape or i will have to purchse a sand blaster and powdercoating set up lol
wish me luck!!!
