    be honest, you would paint it Hello Kitty.


    I came to this thread thinking I was gonna crap on corvettes cuz I'm a Viper dude, but since it's your youth dream, I'll give ya a pass. Go on with your bad self.

    Well, I bought the Vette. He wanted $6900, I offered $6000 and new tires and he took it. I'm so busy with work, I doubt I will have much time to play with it for a while...

    Anyway, everything seems to work rather well.. The power windows work perfectly, the retractable antenna works, head lights pop up and down.. Mechanically, she runs great....

    I'll have to snap some pics if I get time today!

    I'm wondering if the gauge cluster in the center of the dash should light up? It's dark... Given the dome light is out, perhaps there are some other lights that might not be working on the interior..

    Let's see.. Married, kid, dog, cat, ferret, fish (indoors and out - pond/tanks), home, commercial property and business, MGB, VROD, OLDS tricked 3800, G6, and now the Vette... Oh yeah, I have a boat I never use too.... Anyone wanna buy an 18'2 Rinker Bow Rider? It's in perfect shape... $12k takes it home, with the trailer...

    Yeah, I would say I am pretty well versed in the art of spending money...

    Stock 195hp off the L48 engine.. I'd imagine it is a little less than that given the age.

    Once I get it painted, sure!!!

    Same here... Had a 78 Camaro with Rallys! Loved that car..
