I was never really  interested in a corvette though my b/in-law had one for 9 years. In dec of 05 we were having lunch(our christmas get together),when b/in-law started talking about selling his vette.Just out of curiousity I asked what he wanted for it and  he said he would take 3,000 for it. After i picked my jaw off of the floor, i thought this would make a good project for me, as my companion had recently passed and i was at home by myself. It turned out to be great. I joined a local car club and later met my new companion through the club president (she worked for him).It turned out i fell in love with this car. I have repainted it viper red (originally it was black), i have replaced the charcol grey interior with black leather, replaced all the carpet and door sills.I replaced the stereo and the steering wheel. I replaced the original 16 inch wheels with 17 inch bullits. Engine and drivetrain are all original. I take it  to local car shows and have won many awards. I am very proud of this car. bluebird2011-06-19 14:27:35

I like the look of those wheels on the car, they fit! I have seen countless others make a goofy attempt... I was beginning to think that no one could make it work.

Thanks, I found those wheels at a car show I was attending. The vendor had this set and I thought they looked good, so I rolled one all the way across the park and sat it beside the car and looked at it. Imoved it from front to b ack and side to side and decided I liked them enough to buy.I bought them and put two in the vette and two in a friends 'goat' and took them home.

Love it.  Very nice 84...those wheels look great on it.

Thanks for saving another wonderful car.  They really are fun cars to have, drive, look at, and show off.  Endless.

I like the looks of those wheels on that car, too.  In fact, I like the entire car.  There's just something so familiar  about it . . . 🤔. . . 😉
