Registry: 1984 Chevrolet Corvette

"The Green Weenie"

Saw an ad on Craigslist. 84 Vette, new paint, tires, wheels, interior, ran good when parked.
Yeah, right.
Take the "B" down the coast just for the heckovit, and look. It is as advertised. New battery, no nothing. No headlights, dash lights, interior, nada.
Buy it for full price, $1700 American dollars.
Take home, clean battery cables, replace side mount battery bolt, charge battery, start it up.
I swear to all that's holy. It ain't free, but dern close!

Future plans - drive it. Fix it. Drive it. Repeat as needed.

It keeps on running. Had it for a few months now, and nothing major is broke. Blows a little oil smoke on a warm restart, but hey, that's valve guides. Oil pressure is 60 at idle hot. Gets about 22 MPG on the highway, if you aren't being totally juvenile with the throttle. Less if you are!

It's a different creature than we are used to, but it's going to stay around as long as it doesn't cause me any grief. (And it does look kind of cool!)

Sold! Had my fun and passed it on. There may be another one in the future, I really didn't mind this one. It just took too much attention to keep it right now.

Maybe later......
