I know this is WAY off topic, but Dad's sellign his toy. It's a beautiful automobile, but it just doesn't float (hey, boats are very cool). Does anyone have any interest, or know anyone that may?

Opps.. almost forgot.. the little page I built for the car only views right in Internet Explorer, ( sorry netscape folks, I'm still learning) What is with Netscape though? Maybe we could start a new thread about why Netscape seems to not work nearly as well with Dynamic page design? LOL

OK!

Not a mark on it even were the Vinyl was!

So I will give you 2 bottles of Rapid Tac and 1 bottle of Rapid Remover for it!

I will even kick in 5 yards of your favour Vinyl (any colour) to sweeten the deal!

Is this Deal closed?

Hi Jeff.......Great car!!! I love Corvettes. The site did open in Netscape. I am in the process of restoring an original 1965 "Fuelie" Corvette Coupe. It has side pipes, knock-off wheels and the 375hp fuel injected motor. I have a page on my web site showing the start to finish progress. You will see a Corvette, just click on it. I purchased the car in 1969 and was last driven in 1976! It has taken a ton of of work, but it is FUN!!!  -

Tony, here's a preview of what your restoration is gonna look like. [Smile]

That's the owner sitting in his '65.. He bought it brand new when he was 16 years old, kept it all these years amazingly enough, and rebuilt it.

He was a neighbor that lived in my subdivision so I know him pretty well. When I was 12 years old (I turn 26 in a few weeks) it was during summer vacation from school when one day I walked into his garage and stood there watching him work on his car... ya know, bored kids tend to do that. [Smile]
He put me to work on it, taught me how to lay-up f'glass and do all the bodywork.

Thanks to him, I'm hooked on cars. [Smile] On the other hand, without that experience I probably wouldnt be building the custom sculpted body panels that I can do now. [Smile]

My dad bought #17 right off the showroom floor back in 1953. It was one of the cars I learned to drive with. I think GM compiled a list of the existing 'vettes...or there was a publication (magazine) which did, and dad's was the the 2nd oldest survivor they could identify.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OP!!

Skip (the guy in the vette I posted) is a pretty humble guy.. and I guess anyone that is a big GM fan yet works at Chrysler would have to be. [Smile]

I remember always thinking that Vette owners were a little ... well.. "off" . But after getting a little older and stopping to talk to most of the guys I see with nice Vettes, I've been pleasantly surprised. Mostly some really nice people, and always eager to tell their "Corvette Story". My Dads is very nice, ( Wish I could buy it) and WOW some of the older cars you guys posted here are amazing.. You know Roger almost considered a kit to turn his 2000 chassis into a 58 look alike.. Wow.. that would have been an amazing ride! ( guys, as Far as the netscape browser is concerned, I'm sorry.. I really am trying to understand what is up with Netscape, but oh well.. I think the newest version (7) works much better, and is a free download..

Hey Jeff, dont worry about netscape, nobody else does. [Smile] Only 5% of all web users even use netscape nowadays and since AOL bought them up it's gone down the crapper anyway and really doesnt have much of a future. [Smile]

Thanks Mike.. I know.. it's not worth losing sleep over, but oh well.
