Default Another Ohio Stingray 76
Bought this baby and love it. I know '76 was an off year but this one everything works well (enough- ) and it is a pleasure to drive. Fixing the front bumper and waiting for decent weather to get back behind the wheel !
My local dealer has another 76 4- speed that looks interesting...Cheers from Cincinnati Ohio.



Keen https://www.keenparts.com/ is in between work and home so I stopped by and got a new front bumper. I'll get that painted and installed soon. I bead blasted and painted all the brackets and bumpers under there - they were in great shape, no rust to speak of.

Congratulations and good luck on the restoration of the front bumper.

I had a '76E L82 4sp and loved the 18 years I had it. It made a lot of trips from the Seattle area to Western Montana, Portland, Spokane and Idaho. Now my son has it and he's just starting to enjoy it in Montana.
