Horror stories

[snk1994]

Driving down the street and out of the corner of my eye I see a 74' Corvette sitting on a corner lot with a FOR SALE sign in the window. $500! As the smoke clears from me locking up my brakes I walk up to the car. Closer and closer I get and realize that this poor Vette should be put out of its misery. I think the only useable part of the vehicle would have been the frame.....Maybe.
This is a partial list of the crimes against the corvette.

6cyl engine installed (dont know if it ran)
Bench seat
Heater vents in dash cut out to accomidate the 6 disk CD changer
Individual sun roofs (yes each side mounted sideways) cut into the T-tops
Front nose piece riped off the car
All the glass was gone


The car didnt look to bad out the corner of my eye doing 25 MPH with a rear 3/4 view from 150' but I almsot cried when I saw it.....


Any one else have tragic coments to share about poor Corvettes abused and Neglected?

YOU WILL NEVER BELIVE THIS!!!

The guy told me that someone driving a BMW bought it to fix up for his son. His son is 13 and thought that it would be a great dad and son project to build this and then give it to him for his 16th Birthday.

There is a sucker born every minute. Someone would have to pay me to take it off their hands.

Hopefully this particular sucker will find his way to our forum, but not necessarily this post.

Actually guys I bought that Vette. The engine was a Blue Flame 6 cyclinder out of a 1953. They only make 300 of these cars. Now that I have the engine I can drop it into my 53 and make it worth over $130,000 USD....just kidding but you never know unless you look.

I found a 1960 in Manheim Germany in 1970 with an Opel inline 6 in it. Being GM it probably bolted to the bellhousing. I could almost understand that with it being near impossible to get a Chevy V8 in Europe in 1970. The whole car was euro spec with kilometers on the speedo ext. but that 6 was just plain wrong.
