1975 vette i wanted to buy

[Grumpy 427]

This car sits 3 blocks from me, i stumbled onto it and asked if it was for sale? It was won in a Kinsman raffle, i guess it was built by the local corvette club then sold for raffle. he said he wanted to keep it for one more year etc you know the deal. So i offered him $9K for the car and he looked at me? I told him at the time i could of brought one home from the USA for that price at the time. It was another one of those looked ok but needed a rebuild.

I may go see him this spring and see what he has to say? Could give the 1980 to the wife to drive, and i will do another rebuild of this 1975??? lol.

Looks like it is in great shape as well! Did they do any engine work when they rebuilt the car, or is it all stock?

No was all stock, as kinsmen has a $14K limit on the cars they can buy to raffle. I doubt they spent that on it though. The paint was nice, but it needed brake callipers since he has owned it, so i doubt it was a rebuild like the one i am doing.
