Girlfriend, meet Slut. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Now don't get jealous, she's your older step-sister and she's had a hard life.
She's been run hard and put to bed wet more times that she could count.
She's been mistreated, abused, neglected, ignored and forgotten, but now she's been brought into the light.
A new party dress, some makup and a thorough cleaning should make her ready to party like a rockstar once again.

Can you say "MoneyPit"?
Here's my thoughts so far:
Tilt-front front end, humongous 6-71 blower on a mild 350 sticking through a big hole in the hood, ZF6 six speed with 4:11 rear gears. C4 sport seats. Rear flares with ginormous Micky Thompson rear meats on Cragar SS wheels. Sidepipes stay, but pipes get painted black.

God bless you TC! You've got ya some patience fo'sho!

I was thinking sleeper, ya know kind of stock lookin' 74(?) w/5spd & 4.11's, maybe keep the side pipes.....tilt front end is nice though, proly easier than messing with the stock stuff.....crate motor w/EFI?.....the 6-71 w/ 2x550 would be a kick though.....

Buenos suarte, amigo!

Bring her back from the dead. A worthy cause for any Corvette.
