I have about $15-16K in parts and the car, not counting labor I've put into the car, and trying to find the GF a cuda to surprise her. She loves 3rd Gen and likes both 1st and 2nd gen, so we're pretty open.

Originally a blue on blue car, 350/4spd, converting it to a 700r-4 with a butternut yellow paint. Engine compartment is ready to drop the engine/tranny in, body is about 80% ready to paint, interior is almost ready to bolt in, Vintage Air almost done. Message me for more info if you're interested. I can negotiate pretty freely and add or subtract parts to make everyone happy.

I don't have a lot of pics of the car, and just to make it look worse than it is, check out the ones on Photobucket. http://s697.photobucket.com/albums/vv339/buckneccid/?start=all

The absolute worst thing about the car is the rusted windshield frame, which will be the biggest expense. The rest of the birdcage is in good shape with no rust that I or a couple of "buyers" from the Corvette forum who checked it out could find. The only other big expenses would be the tires to go on the freshly powder coated wheels, a windshield to replace the one I broke removing it, the convertible top, and some of the weatherstripping. Almost everything else is there including new bumpers, but your taste may be different than mine and you will want new parts instead of what I felt were good quality driver parts.

Message me if interested for a phone number.
 
heads up buckNeccid you posted a lot more than just pics of the vette ... Nice GTX btw
 
I appreciate the heads up Tall Hair, but I put the link up to save bandwidth for the web sight and still get piles of pics to show. I can't think of anything on Photobucket that I would be afraid to show. Some of it DOES make me look pretty silly, but Oh well, that's how life goes. Maybe it'll give someone a smile as they look at the pics.

Thanks for the GTX compliment, a similar car was one of the first 3 card I bought when I came back to the States in '74. Lots of good memories in that car, and this one is rust free and will probably be my coffin.


The Vette is to be the GF's car, maybe a wedding present to her. She changes her mind about as often as her underwear. One minute she can't live without a 'Cuda, the next she can't wait until the vette is finished.There's a good chance the Vette will be finished this summer. If I can get time to finish up the Vintage air installation, the rest will almost fall together, it's that close.

BTW, the windshield frame is repaired, and the tires are on the way :hello2:
