well, I found a deal I just couldn't pass up.
You can see what it is by looking under the "My Corvette" underneath my avatar pic and also the addition in my signiture.
looks like Baby, my '65, will have a new friend to keep her company in the garage.
I just made a deal on a '78 L82 with only 9489 original miles.
unfortunately, because it was driven so little during it's life it's been a bit neglected and needs some work - it needs new paint badly and the engine bay needs a lot of clean up to manke it presentabe but the frame is super solid and the interior is in overall good shape.
I'll fix it up to the condition it deserves. i'll be doing the engine/engine bay work myself but the paint I'll send out to be done. Good news is that while the paint is bad, the body itself is perfect, not hits, and no cracks and the stainless trim is all in great shape.
if interested, you can see some pics of the car here on my website. These I took about a month ago when I first went to look at the car after hearing about it. It's sitting in the sellers driveway where it's sat for the last year completely untouched.

Since the '65 is almost done and almost in the condition I want her to be in I figured it was time for a new project.
Yep, I must be a glutton for punishment. 
I guess it's time the C3 forum gets to see a taste of what some of my threads can turn into.........

PS: hey Bob, I DID mention my '65 a few times (even bold typed it), can this thread stay here?

From a few repairs and lots of questions to tackling another project. Sounds like a good deal! Good luck and we're looking forward to your future threads so we can all learn more with you.
. At least it doesn't have a "Check Engine" light.
