Yup...just bought one of those too!

I think I just got tired of listening to Dan talk about how awesome Corvettes and Corvette Owners were that I finally decided to break down and get one! It should fit in nicely with my 3 fords and 2 foreign cars!

What makes this one special? It is a manual transmission.

She's been sitting in the old Studebaker building (covered) for about 9 years. I haven't put her on the lift yet to see what all needs to be done. There is evidence of mice in the interior....hopefully the wiring is all in-tact....but the paint seems to be in really good shape, and the interior from what I've seen so far looks decent, just needs to be cleaned....so hopefully it will be minimal work to put her back on the road. Right now I know it will be all new belts and hoses, tires (and 8-slot factory aluminum rims...or factory rally's...haven't decided yet, will go with whatever the RPO code says it came with originally), etc.

You might look around for a set of the glass mirrored tops and makes her feel a little roomier on the inside and use a little bit more headroom to
