A good friend of my wife decided (for the 3rd time) to finally sell her 1982 that she has owned since 1984. It is silver/blue with a blue interior and has mirrored t-tops. The car is "all there", but needs a good cleaning and some cosmetic items. We picked it up for a more than reasonable price.

The lady we bought it from sunk a TON of money in the car in the 19 years she had it. It is a shame but I think many of the "repairs" were not really needed but they saw a woman and figured they could take advantage of the situation. She really loves the car, but lost her job and needs the cash, so it is a win/win situation.

PICS TO FOLLOW (it poured most of the day today and could not get a decent shot).

Also, I want to thank my good friend Electron Blue '02 (Alan) for spending the better part of the day with me going over the car and sharing his knowledge. I really appreciate it
:cheers:

Congratulations! Another 82 online :hurray: That's a nice color combo. Mine was that exact same scheme before the attack of the 3rd World Paint Booth.

It only took me two years :D

Please, send Electron Blue `02 (Alan) to Tennessee. Send him "Overnight Express" mail with a return address sticker on him and when I'm through asking question I will be sure to send him right back home......hmmmmmm...unless he likes Tennessee. In that case he'll send for his Vette. :thumbs:
Does anyone have any idea of a show close to me anytime soon? Or is anyone going to be passing thru the area?
I took my Vette to a near by garage to have the right rear problem fixed (e-brake and U-joint locked up). They tore into it a week ago and said they were waiting on parts. :sad: I think I'm being messed with again. :skep:
They see me drive up in a Vette and..................well you know the rest. :smash:
Just needed to :rant: a little

It was a pleasure spending the day with Marc, Lisa (Mrs. Shoptek), and son,
Marshall. This wasn't work.... it was fun :D
Marc and Lisa got a great buy on this car. Not very often you find a
(almost) one owner '82. Worked out well for seller and buyer :thumbs:

Marc has already bought new oil and filter, so I'm sure it will be in better
shape soon than when he bought it. Marc is as **** (or more so) as
the rest of us.

Hi 79VetteGirl.... I do like Tennessee ! As a matter of fact, I just got home
from breakfast with a good friend that is visiting from Chattanooga :D

Always willing to help out a fellow Corvette owner and Forum member.
I'll see if I can find a large enough box to ship myself out in. If so, see
you next week :thumbs:

Congrats on the 82, you'll love it.

I will eagerly be watching my "male" box....... ;)
