Vettes!!???? hahahahah... anyway..... Back in the 90's I bought a 69 vette 427 390 hp pretty decent car but it needed body/paint. I got it from guy I bought some early B bodies off in Wichita and he had a Vette resto shop. Part of the deal was he would send his bodyman from his shop in Ks over to me and my guy in Mo and show us the details of replacing fiberglass fenders ( yes they are 2 pieces "glued" together), gelcoat, etc.
Long story short, That all happens, we did a complete paint job, redid the interior, mechanically it was great. I also made a trip out to Bloomngton, In. to their big do dah show . I found I did not fit in with 95% of them, pretty snobby bunch ( I dared not talk of my Mopars!)... I also was informed my 390 horse 69 possessed little attraction to them. OKkkkkk... If it was an original 425 hp ( 3 deuce) car, then it be a little " better". While East I did pick up some Mopar stuff so not a total waste. ( 69 rustfree Hemi GTX roller for $5000 LOL) ,,, I sold this Vette and they were right , back in '94-5? wasn't worth much, I think it brought $8-9000 and I had to deliver it to Wi. !!!!!!!
I still LOVE car people that love the old car hobby, horsemn than appreciate the work ethic of a good minded horse, and people that love dogs. OK so some cat people are great too! ps... anyone want my wife's cockatoo before I strangle the SOB??????
