Default Intro
Hello all! I have been lurking for along time, but finally got a Vette so I guess its time to jjoin up. Long story short, I have always wanted a Vette. The wife said if I quit smoking, I could have one lol. So now after 27 years of smoking, I have a shiny red 81 sitting in the drive. Love the car!! Emissions was removed by PO as well as cats. True dual car, but I am not sure what else could have been done to the car. I can tell you it seems way healthier than 190 hp and throw you back in the seat. Its a lot fun to drive. Sadly here in Nebraska, the driving weather is about done. This winter the plan is to go through the suspension and brakes. Thanks for the admit!!!
