    Brought it home today after a three week stint at my buddy's shop. All the wear points/ bushings on the front suspension and steering have been replaced. All new brake hydraulics and pads. New plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor. New radiator. All new fluids.

    Now I get to rebuild the carburetor and tune it.

    1981. Last carburetor on a 'vette. Has a cat, air injection, O2 sensor, and electronic control of the carb and ignition. The PO has messed that all up- the car starts right up and runs good but the idle is super low and burns gas at an incredible rate.

    I could go the easy route and put an Edelbrock carb on it and MSD ignition, but my goal is to keep it entirely stock to approach concurs valuation. Right now it is merely "excellent".

    I still have the Truck. A tree fell on it during Hurricane Katrina, but I could let it go at the right price if you want to make an Offer.
    Tell you what Jack give me a $5,000.00 bucks and I'll take it off your hands.

    Back when I lived in Upstate NY, late 80's, I bought a '69 F100 for $100. It was up to it's axles in the muddy back yard of a retired alcoholic carpenter. We filled the tires, put in on a trailer and hauled it up to my machinery barn. I redid the brakes, changed all the fluids and cleaned out the cab, which was full of liquor bottles and trash. I literally filled up the bed with all the shit that was in that truck. I drove it to the dump and got rid of it all. Except for a large granite slab that neatly took up most of the rusted out bed. Sides were solid.

    I got 8 or 9 treated 2x6s to cover over the rust holes and put the granite on top. Bought two studded snow tires for the rear, and she would go through any snow.

    I drove it for a "winter rat" for several years. My wife never rode in it.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
