After owning quite a few, I'm down to my first Vette... an 87 that needs work and hasn't moved in about 6 years.

Jumpin in late. The silver one was my first one, minor bolt-ons with a small 150 shot. And my 2nd when I bought it (and sits currently) FBO, stereo, and body mods.

It might have been a few years ago but I haven't touched it in about 5 years. Been sitting in the garage. It needs a lot of work and I don't have the time or energy. Paint is bad, maybe 6/10. Needs new body mounts, interior and rear trailing arms. Oh, and paint. I have a 411 rear end in the shed I was going to swap in when I redid the rear. Front suspension and brakes/ brake lines all new. Aluminum rad with electric fans.

It's a 454 out of an 87 suburban, 4 bolt mains, 60 over so it's a 468. I built the engine from scratch in 2003-2004. Comp Cams 282S solid lifter, LS-6 replacement TRW pistons, GM performance parts aluminum heads. I used all top end parts in the engine rebuild.

I have an original Baldwin Motion Hood if anyone is interested.

Pics from it's glory days.

Not currently an owner, never have been but working on it. Getting closer to being able to purchase. Probably in the 2001-04 convertible price point.

As with most cars, get the newest you can. 2001 had oil consumption issues-so just be aware.
