Just bought a 1975 Stingray;

The L-48 was replaced with an LT1 Crate motor by P.O.

Interior is in pretty descent condition;

Now I just have to make some room for it.....

I'm thinking a 4 post lift might be next.

Nice addition to the stable (which does look like it is getting full for sure).

Picked up the C3 yesterday and drove it home, it was interesting to say the least. January in Alberta is generally not very good cruising weather. Getting out of Red Deer was challenging, lot's of the streets hadn't been plowed, lot's of snow pack with two ruts going down the street, was worried about getting high centered and getting stuck in the middle of the road.

Got quite a few waves, and lot's of stares( WTF is that idiot doing).....

Once I got out to the Highway, roads were good.

Nice clear stretch on the way home, the accelerator seemed to stick down for a brief period??? Oops... 100 mph. Don't know how that happened....:-x

Anyways, it's home safely and tucked away...

You either need a bigger garage, or less Corvettes. I recommend a bigger garage. Love the color of that C3.

Hey BF I just figured out you live very close to my cousins cottage.
My aunt would let me drive her Chevy Nova when I was 14 on the back roads.
You could say I learned how to drive from those days.
I have not been there since then either.
I really need to go visit my cousins in the summer and see the old cottage.
I bet you drive your Vette(s) by the beach often?

Small World, eh.

Brother used to have a lake lot in Poplar Bay, just west around the Lake further

Yes I have been up there with the Cars.

That was where I learned to water ski as well as drive.

We went up to visit my Aunt every summer for 2 weeks for years.

Lots of good times and memories of those vacations.

Well maybe someday I will go to visit the cousins and I will have to connect up with you.

Happy new year and again congrats on the C3 score.
