Been awhile since I have posted, although I "lurk" occassionally. I looked around the Forum and didn't see this posted. Amazing story:
1967 CORVETTE –
Wonder what the new owner paid? Anyone else know of this car?
Resto-Mod
Okay, well, you asked our opinion, so here is my 2% of a dollar:
If it was a coupe, I would restore it. It's a 'vert. Mod it. You are already missing the original motor, and who knows what else. You did not say if it was a fuelie car, or with knock off wheels or sidepipes-all...
Tools
I'm with DarkShark and Grumpyvette. You gotta have the tools. I realize for some, the garage is a storage place for the 'Vette. For me, it's a work zone.

Aw. shucks...
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate that. :upthumbs
There are a lot of nice cars in here. I like all Corvettes!:v
I have been toying with the idea of putting '78 Pace Car wheels on. I think the red pinstripe on the wheels might go well with the red interior and red pinstripes...
Cool!
Wow, there are some nice cars and great shots here. Bud (Rare 81) sent a PM with a suggestion, so I am going to give it a try. This is when I first got the car in August, 2004:
