This is our
"new" 1976 Corvette!!! |
|
|
This Corvette has had
five owners here in Southern California... The paint is very good and the motor is really clean! |

Update: We
mounted raised white letter Firestone tires in February 2000. Any
regrets... YES - check the rebuild page - these tires are not speed rated! |

Summer of 2000
Interior Remodel included new leather seat covers to replace the originals
seen here in the pic...New foam and rehabing the seat springs made a big
difference in the ride. |

This is the original
engine after 25 years of service. Very worn out... Still had
compression and still ran enough to get a taste of what could be...
Really is amazing that these engines can last so long (!). Went for a
big time rebuild in the winter of 2001... Very impressive results... check
the link to the rebuild page. |

Unfortunately, there
is a specific reason we have a Corvette right now... Because our
excellent '84 Camaro was totaled by an idiot that ran a red light and hit the
car with Susanne, Angelee, and Jenny Sands inside at a local
intersection. The Camaro was a great sports car. Loved it.
The perfect size with great handling and just plain fun to drive. The
insurance company for the other driver declared it totaled and I choose not
to fight to get the vehicle repaired. The car was a victim of its
age... "only" $4000 worth of damage but the vehicle was only worth
$2500 after 15-years of service. The Corvette has proven to be a
suitable replacement for the Camaro but I'll say this... You can never really
replace a good car! |
