I had known of this vette for 20 years. We used to leave school and park across the street to watch the view. I had left notes and all the usual door knockers and drive-bys had failed. I've been chasing cars for a few years now, so you can imagine my surprise when the vette turned up in the garage sale section of the local want ads. I counted cash and rushed over to the old college hang out for a look-see. There was no-one around on a sleepy morning so I waited around for some activity. Soon an old codger appeared on the front porch lugging two ancient bicycles toward the sidewalk. Since this wasn't my first rodeo I decided to walk by and try my luck. I caught his attention and after a swig of coffee hollared up "ya ever think a selling the old vette?" He said, "As a matter of fact I am," the man responded. This began a conversation that lasted a short 15 minutes. The old man wouldn't even give up some gas to start the old vette! He finally relented and fired it right up. After another 5 we struck a deal, traded papers and off I went! This roadster had been thru a hard stretch but been loved. You could tell this old guy was really bummed to see her go. It's a great runner, all the mechanicals have been repaired. It has steel braided brakes lines and side pipes and all the stuff that was cool for the era. I think it was more of a function over form thing here. The owner told me he had a partnership in a mechanic's shop and he had all types of cool tools and bikes and engines and everything a car guy does back flips over. I haven't run the numbers but I will and I will update this ad and answer your questions and do whatever it takes to find this roadster the good home it deserves. Dan
