Week-end bump # 27 :thumbs:

Amazing. A car I would have killed for in the 80's, and here it sits.....a crate motor away from serious fun. If you weren't on the other side of the damn continent.....:lol:

:rofl:

Late week-end bump #28 :thumbs:

Sandy got in the way :toetap:

good looking car...someone needs to jump on this.

Just keep it.

Late week-end bump #29 :thumbs:

Hmmmm, I don't know if the wife would go for another Corvette laying around. I'm not a motor head by any stretch, I just love to drive them. What would a stroker cost and how much to pay someone to install? This might be a fun project and it would feel good to help someone out. You didn't loose the house did you Gary?

Such a shame to see this thing rot out there.

I'm really surprised this thing hasn't sold. Man, if I had the cash and you weren't 14 hours away, I'd be all over this. GLWS. :D

Not quite yet :toetap:

Now where playing the waiting game with the FEMA and State Farm adjusters :toetap:

The vette was parked on the highest part of the yard on a old concrete patio - the bay just got over the door sills --- foot wells filled with water and wicked up into the seats ---- witch would be no big deal -- the whole interior needs replacing anyway :lol:

None of the electronics got wet :thumbs: ---- I pulled it off the road about 8 months ago -- once I see what kind of Insurance monies I get -- I might deivert a few bucks to the vette --- if not I'll probably give it away now :(

And the vultures desend in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 ---- :lol:

And I just checked ---- I'd like to thank the forum and its members :thumbs:

The highest view count and replies :woohoo:

reply no 112.

Week-end bump #30 :thumbs:

Hello,

How this thread is old but may I ask where u got the louvers? Also who did the glassing in of them for you? Thx

I got them from corvette central -- opened them up - and the "BUTCHER" installed them :toetap::toetap::toetap:

professionals choice in north Babylon :toetap::toetap::toetap:

Look at all the photos --- there isn't one part of the body that wasn't screwed up by them :ack:

Thx!! Im assuming they actually functioned as they should have and did u put anything under them to act as a drip tray?

Oh Yea -- big time :thumbs:

On a normal vette - they would be installed a little further back - but on a mistake - "err" - 84 - the ducting is in the way :toetap:

At a stop light - I can see heat waves bleeding out - once I taped a temp probe in one of the slots --- at 40 MPH - about 130 degs. was blowing out :thumbs:

P/S -- never had any problems with rain ---

May I ask what ducting? Ducting you put in or were these louvers just straight open air right out from the engine bay?

I assume you feel they were worth it heat wise in the fact that they expelled heat well?

Thx again:rock:

wait...all you want is a grand??? where did i miss that?? i feel pretty du\mb right now. ok, does the car still run and drive? my father in law has been looking for a C4 and this is right up his alley.. a little water damage is no biggie. it would make a great xmas gift, especially if i would be able to drive it back to OH. if not i would be willing to trailer it..

I see your just the other side of Cleveland:thumbs:

Flat bed truck or trailer and about a 12 hour drive one way :yesnod:

Week-end Bump # 31 :thumbs:

State Farm will punt to FEMA. That's what they did all over MS after Katrina.

Week-end Bump # 32 :thumbs:

Week-end Bump # 33 :thumbs:

I missed a week - so -

Weekend bump # 35 :thumbs:

Now willing to trade for a Mosin Nagant or Mini-14 --- legal transfer of course :thumbs:

P M -----

Weekend bump # 36 :thumbs:

what model of Mosin Nagant are you looking for? i have an original model M44 with folding bayonet. it has the original ammo pouches, sling, and oiling cans

7.62 ? :thumbs:

How long before you get here :woohoo:

yes sir. 7.62x54. numbers matching and original stock!!

Unfortunately were back to the same thing -- your there and I'm here ? I cant afford to get the vette any further than pushing out to the street :lol:

Again -- no insult --

no, i'd come out your way and get it. its a couple day trip that i'm not opposed to.

I might have confused you with someone else -- this other guy has a friend in a state closer - and was gonna send him over to look at the vette -- but -- I would have had to meet him 1/2 way :crazy2:

P/M -- on the way :thumbs:

Nah Gary id come to you for the car with my truck and trailer and trailer the car back home. I got your pm and I'll call you after 12pm per your request. Might be closer to 1 though as I go on lunch at noon. I understand the car is not road ready and I can accommodate that.

As we say in Yiddish ----- :thumbs:

looks like we'll be coming for the car on saturday

Dont forget to call when you get through the city ( alive :lol: ) -- I put a fresh roll of toilet paper on the rod :thumbs:

Edge of my seat over here. :lurk:

hahaha i'm not worried, lol. worst case i'll have some 7.62x54 with me hahaha

:eek::thumbs:

Just for poops and giggles -- I put the battery charger on it last night :eek:

I cranked it over for a few minutes -- Sprayed some starter stuff in it --- cranked it again ---

:rock::rock::rock: "It lives" :rock::rock::rock:

I haven't started it in 4 months -- and the starter was under salt water :ack:

But It runs :woohoo::woohoo: ( be it bearly :lol: )

Should be E-Z'er to get it on the trailer :thumbs:

awesome! worst case i'm using a different trailer and one with an electric winch!

you know anyone that will trade one for a 1954 SKS, Russian< with blade bayontte>sight adjuster,and ammo, let me know.Will even throw in a 410 . NOT trying to horn in on this deal..you got a good one and I admire that.

Dave's got first crack :thumbs:

i appreciate that! i will get it as soon as the weather clears next week.

I am NOT trying to Butt in front nor interfer with this sale/deal you
guys have worked out. Mazdaverx7..sorry if you thought i was..wasnt my intent...

nah i didn't think you were trying to intrude. the SKS is a very good shooting gun . i had a Yugo version with grenade launcher that i sold to a buddy a few months back.

I was a door gunner/ crew chief in two different assault helicopter companies in Nam. That SKS was only dropped once....not true about being dropped once but makes a great tale.:cheers:

Oops :toetap:

:thumbs:

man, this is really dragging on/out.i woukld have already had the thing home and the engine replaced.

:woohoo:

I can't wait to see this car get back to it's former glory! If I were closer I would have gladly picked it up.

and you will! i plan to restore the car and will probably be posting pics when i arrive home with the car.

Will I get visitation :toetap:

Can't wait! :woohoo:

Gary, the car will be in good hands and you are welcome to come visit any time, even if it is to shoot some guns or have a few beers!

:lurk:

Well ---- hes halfway here :thumbs:

Its a long drive fron Ohio to NY but so far the trip hasn't been bad at all. PA has been decent save for the hills. We will be at your door before noon...that is if we don't get lost and traffic complies!

:(:(:( "It's gone" :(:(:(

:(:(:(:(:(:(

I want another :thumbs:

RICEKILA, what kind of car are you going to buy? Congrats to mazdaverx7!

I've been looking for a CJ or a Wrangler - but if I had to --- I'd settle for a C-4 :thumbs:

But a stick this time :lol:

I caught myself looking out the window a few times already :(

the trip went better than expected and Gary was a most gracious host! the car is safely parked in the driveway and will bump my Porsche 944 for a spot in the garage tomorrow or Wednesday. going to get working on this car. it was an all day event but one that was well worth it!

Gary, thank you again for being so hospitable and for taking the time to explain everything about the car. you are more than welcome to come to Ohio and visit the car. you are also welcome to be treated to a steak dinner at my expense as well as some beer and some shooting, though not in that particular order, lol!

If I knew the Porsch-ie was gonna get bumped - you could-a brought it here :thumbs:

By the way - I found your wallet on my front lawn - when ya coming back for it :lol:

And wifey #2 thanks you'll for picking up the seat :crazy:

my son and i pulled the 84 in the garage this morning and started picking up the interior and drying some things out. he's excited to continue working on it. as soon as the wife releases us we will be back out there, lol.

Good choices. I'd go for a C4, but hey I'm biased.:D

Before I even think about another "anything" -- I need to get my house back in order ( the Wifey tells me :toetap: ) front steps that floated to Copiague -- siding that blew to Deer Park "WILL" be done first -- and she wants heat -- I tell her summer is coming :cool:

A nice thing about a Jeep -- if you run low on funds and cant keep it up ---- no big-ie ----- a vette -- not so much :lol:
