Bought Myself A Toy

[JB_rD81]

Well, seeing as how my life is a total fucking shit show and I’m probably having a midlife crisis, I went out last night and test drove and bought a 1977 C3 Corvette L-82 w/4 speed manual. The car is in GREAT shape, with only 69,000 actual miles. Engine and Transmission have both been rebuilt, rear end has been rebuilt, bird cage and frame are solid. I pick it up Monday, I’ll post up pics

Here is the car last night at the guys shop. This is the same year as the car my mom and stepdad had that almost killed me in 1988, except theirs was an L48 w/auto trans. This guy is also friends with my stepdads friend who built the 77 my mom and stepdad owned. Kind of like the Universe was calling out to me

Congrats bro! I love the old corvettes. 74 stingray was my favorite.

This is the 77 C3 that almost killed me. I was either 8 or 9, my face is what spider webbed the windshield on the passenger side
