Got myself a new toy and my Grandson a Christmas present. If you have any doubts, look at the sticker on the back of both

Gotta love battery power. I was amazed at the things that actually work on this. The headlights, turn signals, radio, horn, back up lights. And a charge lasts all day long and it will pull him up a hill. Here he is stylin'

Like both cars. There's just something about a Nassau Blue vette. Would like to see the vert in Nassau Blue. Bet the grandson would be happy as all get-out.

You aren't old enough to have a grandson...you don't look a day over 25!

I'm sure he loves his vette, looking forward to seeing your new toy at waterside

Alex picked up his vette last month and it's a mettalic green. Looks good, but the paint was messed up towing it back so we have to have someone buff it out. He's hoping to get it on the road in the spring.

Heck no, it's a project car. We are working on the engine now. I need to find a carb for it and put in plugs and wires and belts and we should be able to crank it up. We still need to put the interior together and I need a yoke for the transmission (Alex had it converted from auto to a 4-speed M-21). Also, need to install the brake lines and rear bumber support. It never ends, does it...
