Pig Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 As i have almost finished the supra I am thinking about one of these, what do you think. Not to tune this time, but to restore to perfection! http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/cars_search.asp?modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=CHEVROLET&model=CORVETTE&min_pr=75&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=&postcode=cm63te&miles=1500&max_records=50&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 whats so bad about them Pete? ive never been fortunate enough to even sit in one:( My friends dad had one. Scared himself silly in it. Loads of power, naff all grip in the wet and generally bad handling. Awesome fun though! Wouldn't take me out though. I wouldn't buy one if you can't drive straight though Here's one on ebay to gawk at. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Corvette-Stingray-T-top-1976-p-ex_W0QQitemZ4642773537QQcategoryZ18301QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 elanor is a mustang gt500:) Anyone know where i can look at prices of one?? one that needs work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Anyone know where i can look at prices of one?? one that needs work! i would not think you would find a gt500 to do up, maybe a normal mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Anyone know where i can look at prices of one?? one that needs work! You won't find one cheap. Easiest route is buy a standard one and kit it up. Won't be worth anywhere near as much and it's sacrilege by classic car standards, but it'd look very cool. A company called Motiv8 in the UK were doing an Eleanor body kit, not heard from them in a while though. here you go - http://www.motiv8vehicles.co.uk/replicas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ive adopted my dads love for old Mustangs, particularly the 67 and 69. When he retires im going to persuade him to go halves with me on one that we can restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Spent as much on the supe as i want to. Just a few last tweaks to be done, then it will be time to look! gimmi about a month and the looking begins! Ways around insurance is the next problem as not many insurance companies like 21 yr olds on 5.7 L cars lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Lovely looking cars Vettes more of a Stang man myself. There a guy down in snodland I think it is that deals only in vettes might be worth a gander and a talk to him. I know they can swallow a fair bit of ££ if they need a lot of work. Ill see if i cand find the link as i think he only does the older vettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
