So how do you think the ride compares between your vettes?
The '75 rode like an old truck, this '81 rides nice, smooth, doesn't bounce around, brakes and tracks straight, pretty happy with it.

Now the '16 Z, what can I say, the shit eatin' grin gives it away..........

Paint looks like it's 50 years old or older and sat outside forever, nothing close to yours. Can even see the bonding strip on the rear fenders.
We're about $5K apart.
Do you like it? Is it worth dumpimg some money into it? Show some pics if you have them.

Very similar to a '76 I had back in the 90s.
Needs paint, exhaust, interior, steering and suspension work. Well over it's worth, hence the difference in price I'm willing to pay. But, I got the time.
We'll see.

From those pics, doesn't look that bad. Split the difference in asking price.

Very nice pics folks!

Doesn't look like I have a good shot of the '15 in the wild on this machine, but the '63 is looking good.

Just asked wife about my old pix stack ....we have no clue at this point, but I did find a small stack of my '72 here in various stages of ownership.....before the move to Florida and when the shark was painted on the hood, and then when green which are here on the pix I think

wish I could find my '60 vette pix in Folks driveway......long about '66-67, and then, the '87 .....no clue were they are or maybe even exist anymore...probably toss in trash.....

Honestly Gene, I would love to see the "before" pics on your baby.

Great thread, @Norm! No idea there were this many Vette owners here now.

2007 Z51 2LT 6 speed. Traded in my '04 convertible for it in '07. Just rolled over 100k miles this year so it's seen its share of the country.
Photos are from a few years back. Separate trips I think.
