Dubs66
I have been lurking here for the past couple months gathering information doing research and waiting for the day I could bring my baby home. This one is special to me. It belonged to a friend of mine who passed away earlier this year. His name was Dub and he was a car guy and a vette lover. He owned at least four different vettes in the 35 plus years I knew him. A 57,67,66 and 98. All were long gone except for the 66.
I have always liked the C1 and C2 vettes, never thought I would own one but when the planets all aligned properly Dubs wife and I made the deal for me to buy Dubs66.
She said getting rid of the vette was like giving up a puppy. You want to make sure it goes to someone you know will take care of it.
The car is in great shape but will benefit from some upgrades which thanks to you all on this forum I'm sure will be helpful, First up will be installing some seat upgrades found some C5s will pick up this weekend

Welcome from the forum shadows! Sincere apologies to hear about your friend. There's definitely sentimental value in your 'Vette and hope you enjoy driving it.
Kindly,
