greetings
Hello everyone, My name is Mark Doncheski from Danville,Pa. For the last 30 yrs. I have owned my 1974 coupe. I bought the car back when I was 28 yrs.old,from a used car dealer ,a friend of mine. The car was previously owned by a nurse from north central Pa. who traded the vette at the Ford dealer in Shamokin,Pa. Even Up up for a brand new Ford Escort. I wonder if she is still driving the Escort? I drove the car a lot for about the first 10 yrs. or so when other interests took the place of the Vette. For almost the last 10 yrs. the car sat in my barn wasting away. I remember when I was younger hearing the "old guys" saying "I'm going to get around to doing that someday ", which of course most of them never did. Well I'm pushing 60 & I guess that I am now one of them "old guys". The day after Christmas a friend with a roll back & really nice garage helped me dig the vette out of the barn. so after sitting for all these years it now has a new crate engine,clutch, all u-joints & rebuilt trailing arm assys. 28 years ago I painted it 1982 corvette Dk Charcoal & now want to go back to the original Silver. I'm having a good time with the car once again & still being in great health I want to have a lot more fun with it before I croak Thanks Mark
