From 442 to Corvette
Hello Everyone. I just bought my first Corvette. I've been a avid collector of 66-67 Olds 442's and decided to buy a very nice 1980 Corvette. I just couldn't resist especially when the wife loved it. She never got into the 442's but the Vette is a different story. It is fully restored and equipped with a brand new 383 Stroker and Vortec heads and the interior was completely gutted and replaced with new red leather....dash and all. She is Tuxedo Black has the Dakota gauge setup as well. I hope to have a lot of fun with her!
