gmhdfan.

NOPE :D

actually have a GMC 1500 pickup and my grampappies old lincoln whuich got donated.

I am a german car fan. My M Coupe never gave me any touble. And teh interior was trick plus t handled exquisitley and was very quick. Not quite as fast as a new vette but quick none the less. I happened to like the interior appointments better as well as the exterior styling (some peopel really hated the way my car looked though, but i liked it)

Ron, I would look around for a vintage vette from the 60s or 70s :D

What year did the Vette first come with Tuned Port (TPI)? I found references to ’84, ’85 and ’86 as the first year. I know ’87 had it but when was it introduced?

I had a Nova SS with side pipes. My wife still has the scars as does every old girlfriend. It was really bad if you got out of the back seat. OUCH!!!!

Ron, LMAO I even burnt my left hand a couple of times getting out of my Vette after having a few too many to drink. Sobers you up real fast. Not that I would drink and drive anymore.:D :cool:

Ron, I personally would not consider either the 84 or the 85 for
10-12K. A few thousand more and you would be into a 92. Last week I saw a 2003 coupe with low miles at a Knoxville Chevy dealer for $24,900?? Besides the point but there are some great deals out there on newer corvettes.

Puder, the Mrs is not impressed. Sorry pal I want a V8.

Ron, so it looks like you will be getting the automatic one :D :D Dredgeking, I didn't know you knew Ron that well. LOL:)

you can drop a 283cid (i think) buick v8 in an MGB....
that being said I wouldn't drive that little death trap!!!!!

OK i had to try to sell it. I need the $$$ i had an incident with a buddies car in the snow last weekend.

Bet sof luck iwth teh vette. I still put my vote ni for a 60s or 70s. :D

I swear they can with 454s back when :D

Hey Ron
Personally, I like the 82 or earlier vette.Just before they changed the style in 84. If you can find one w/ low mi. you'de have a sweet car
