It's pretty cool to still have the 'vette you bought back in the 70's.
Can you say "memories"? Oh yeah... :-)

Kind of a strange deal too. When I came back from my second tour, I
had ordered a Road Runner, but it never made it to San Francisco. The
dealer that was supposed to deliver the car really felt bad about the
whole thing and went out of his way to find another car for me - that
was the 440 GTX.

Then when I got to Alabama, there was a young guy who had bought the
'Vette, but couldn't keep up with the payments. Gave him some cash,
took over the payments, doubled up on them and that was that - I had
two cars. So the 'Vette went home and was stored - only 16,638 miles
on it as of last saturday.

It's a low mileage original, and you molested it by building the
engine? Bad, bad Shortwave... :-)

I hope you at least pulled the original engine and stored it, and
dropped a crate motor in it. Otherwise, you hurt its value. But hey,
if you never plan to sell it, who cares?
