TK1491 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I don't want to jinx myself, cuz I don't actually take possession until later this week, but I can't keep this to myself. As further proof that my life is firmly stuck in the mid-70's (minus the nasty clothes and chest hair)... I jumped at an opportunity to own this FREAKING AWESOME '76 vette. It's in fantastic condition. Three sets of t-tops, even (two smoked glass, one red to match the car)!! Great price, and the previous owner had it for 15 yrs. The red/red combo is not my ultimate preference, it undoubtedly rocks. Took these shots this afternoon: me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK1491 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Grow that chest hair Scott LOL or at least sideburns!!! =) you guys Im so excited I can't even sit still. My dad had a '77 when I was 12, a yellow one. I've had the bug ever since. Gee, kinda like my armor. I got the bug for that in 77 too! This 76 was just a great opportunity I couldnt pass up, and my wife (God bless her soul) let me go for it. (Her dad had a 78 so she sorta has the bug too). I gotta thank my dad for comin along and helpin me out too...love you dad!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
