Jack, I had no idea when I bought my 65 43 years ago that it would be so much more than a car. I've met numerous people, including you, over the years as a result of this car that has become a hobby and lifestyle for me.

Raining here. No more of that white stuff

Uh, I think Jack was talking about his vette.

IF Jack is 46, he has lead a hard, hard life!

J/K, the important thing is Jack is young at heart.

Default Seat covers.

Who sells these? My dog won't wipe her feet but she wants a ride.




QUOTE=Jackfit;1574880179]Hi, Well, the car is done mechanically and today we packed a 66 roadster with gear to keep me going for 3 months. I leave on the morning tide. a long awaited 48 state journey with my car.

I thank all of the forum members who have helped me many times over the last 2 years. It will really fun to meet many of you in the upcoming months. I hope some of you, (you know who) have been doing their little timetables about their car and life.

Members who I may visit on my trip, be a little patient with me for the first week or so. I am using new computer and internet stuff for this trip and it will take a little time to get it all working on the road.

Thanks again, see you soon

Jack

Thanks Jack,

I looked there yesterday and from what I saw, it appears that all the colors are now discontinued. I hope someday they might make another run of them.

Have fun

Default What years are these cars ?

Hi , it has been a busy summer and I stopped to get gas at our local gas station, a fellow saw my car and mentioned that he had a few old corvettes, he has a summer house in Maine and lives in Colorado.

I was going out of town at the time and told him to send me a picture of them . He did a few days later. You just never know who you are going to meet when you own a Corvette.

Who would like to name the years?
