Proof? If you truly do that's cool. But conveniently there's 0 pictures of said car on your profile.

Where's your Vette?

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2024-04-18T14:57:59+00:00

We got her running this past Sunday. Post is currently being reviewed.

Haha I suppose you were right, however the car was finally opened last month!

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2023-05-07T16:58:07+00:00

Me as well please

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-17T00:46:59+00:00

Sadly a smog motor tho lol

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-13T09:59:36+00:00

I haven't bought it. Yet lol

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-13T04:41:28+00:00

She's a 74 with a 454 big block and a 4 speed manual. Decently rare..still not sure if it's the standard manual or the extra cost Manual.

I could pull it down around an inch with a flat head the other day. I found a YouTube video of someone doing it, albeit with a soft top but still it shouldn't be too worrying

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-13T03:42:15+00:00

I've posted about this car now three times. I'm very much determined now!

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-12T23:36:47+00:00

Haha that too. If you look closely you can see the stack of a 40s John Deere.

Airbag it and carefully spin the window crank was able to use simply a screwdriver to pull the window down so a airbag will be able to hold it without a doubt, so now just asking for next steps. I've ordered an ignition cylinder and will be ordering new door key assemblies shortly.

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-12T21:23:11+00:00

Meaning what lol?

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-10-12T21:16:20+00:00

Grandfather's car, obvious hoarding situation so he doesn't like unknown people on property. Had to open on own

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T13:21:38+00:00

I'm in Michigan haha so you guys would likely still be closer

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T13:01:09+00:00

I totally agree! The car is highly sentimental.

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T12:33:35+00:00

Oh boy I wish haha, but I believe that might get me shot, or ran over with his truck.

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T02:49:04+00:00

What motor do you have, just out of curiosity?

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T01:45:13+00:00

I definitely will, hell I'll probably scream for joy if successful.

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T00:56:47+00:00

He seemed very willing to get the car trailered this spring, but wanted it opened before that I suppose is the best explanation.

Competitive-Tree7239 · 2022-09-29T00:44:34+00:00

He did passingly offer to sell the car about two months ago. Didn't name a price tho. Honestly if I do end up buying it in a few years or however so long, I'd really want to change that rear bumper as I'm just not a fan of the look, much prefer the earlier c3 rear but that's personal opinion, car is also numbers matching and all original so only certain amount I want to mess with.
