New 40+ Year Old Addition to the Garage!

[Pineywoods]

In case you missed the outcome of the midlife crisis thread, here it is.

I started out looking for a later C3 era Corvette but got discouraged as they were either out of my budget, sold immediately, or just garbage or a huge project. Im not a fan of the C4 so I looked at a few C5's but just wasn't feeling it. I flirted with a '55 Ford for a minute but in the end I was finally able to find a nice driver quality C3 for a great price. The guy wanted $13k and I was able to get it for $10.5k which I thought was a bargain after seeing what they usually sell for in this condition. Absolutely everything works. The A/C blows cold and it runs great. She's not a show car but is in great shape for its age. I think I'm gonna start building a 383 stroker for it in the garage for down the road.

Congrats again to you Josh. I have to be totally transparent here. I’m trying REAL HARD to not be jealous of you brother. But my coping mechanism allows me to realize that some us have cool cars and some of us are just so darn good looking that we don’t need them. JK. Enjoy that ride buddy.

I didn't have the looks or the cooking skills like you Terry so my only choice was a car.

It had to be you Charlie! If I took any money from preaching or relied on it for income I'd be showing off a pea green 1976 Chevy Chevette that I had to finance for 7 years . Thank the Lord for people buying pools lol.
