Finally a Chromie - I Hope

Well, being on vacation I had plenty of time to look for corvettes on the internet. Being as I am from Southern Pa I was searching any and all vette classifieds ads in Pa, Md, Ohio, Jersey and New York. I couldnt find anything that was in my budget that was what I would call a decent value for my money. Friday night I decided to search ads from West Virginia and Virginia and I found a 72 vert in a Virginia ad that looked decent by the pics. Since it was about midnight I couldnt call but first thing Saturday morning I was on the phone with them. To my surprise the owner was from Pa only about 50 miles from where I live. After talking to him I was almost positive this was the car for me. But he wouldnt hold it without a deposit. I called a friend around 11:00 in the morning and he said he would go look at it for me. At 3:30 my friend called me and told me that he put a deposit on the car for me and I am planning on picking up the vette on Monday or Tuesday night. I am so excited right now. My wife thinks I'm crazy and she wonders where I am going to be keeping this one. Its a bright yellow with a white top, saddle interior, 350 engine, automatic trans. Originally it was Onterio Orange. I would like to see what one would look like in that color with white top and saddle interior. I will get pics up as soon as I get it home. I just hope nothing goes wrong with this purchase that I end up not getting it. I am sure I will have a ton of questions but this one has to be a slow restore! Its going to be a weekend driver till i get it restored.

Congratulations, Rodney.     I'm sure you'll have a ball restoring her.  Looking forward to the pictures.  

sounds great..I look foward to seeing it..I have learned a lot about these old chromies if u need anything..can find time to help out with whatever it needs! Love that list. Did you find it in pa or Va?..We looked for an auto but like you said either to much money or to much work!
Have fun at the beach!

Yeah, that sounds familiar. It's a good thing there's no more room in my driveway (or money in my pocket ). Lord only knows what it might look like around here if I lived on flat ground. I just love these cars.
