OK, just got kid #3 out of college, Christmas time, have to pay those damn estimates, got to fund the IRA.... let me check the balance in my checking account. Hey, Jonesy, can I borrow $81,500? It's for a good cause!
Seriously, awesome car, and sure looks like an awesome resto. As expected though, the photos posted on the net never can quite capture the color.
Some of my best memories in High School are running around in a Corvette Bronze 68 Z with American Racing wheels, 15 x 7 in front and 15 x 8 in back. I had helped my buddy put the "1st design" optional cam in it. Already had the GM headers on it when he got it. Talk about driving it like it was stolen. That poor car would see 8 grand on the steering column mounted tach on a regular basis; then SLAM the next gear. Then, the car really did get stolen. Bummer.
Never did figure out why it didn't pull a rocker stud, especially with the heavier springs, but it didn't. Believe it or not, he replaced that car with a Red/White 67 Z which ended up T boned so badly the dash was an inverted "V". And by the way, Jonesy, that is the car your new oil pan came from.
Sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread, just taking your car down a trip on Memory Lane.
Again: awesome car.
Lynn
