Bright Red 1985 Vette, Z51 optioned.
Got it my Junior year of HS, the day before the first day of school my parents surprised me with it ( this was in 2002). Had 106K on it when I got it.
I parked it last year at like 151K miles, as it had started eating oil like a fat kid eats cake. And the paint that had just a year prior looked factory fresh was now peeling.
Im currently rebuilding the engine, my planned mods are.

Lunati VooDoo 1.6 Roller Rockers
