Hi everyone,
Noob from the Netherlands. Noob when it comes to Vettes cause I've been into 1st and 2nd gen F-bodies since 1985.
Besides the 68 Vette convertible (that I will introduce further down the page), I also own a 67 Camaro. At this moment I'm converting that one from a paddle shifted 4L80e to a T56. Have a look @ http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/neki67/1967 Camaro/
I purchased the Vette from a member @ www.pro-touring.com. He owned it for about half a year. It was a project that was abandoned 10 years before. The engine was bad so he decided to put in a freshly rebuilt 350 4-bolt SBC. Since he wanted to buy a house he needed money so he decided to sell some of his toys. Besides the Vette he also owns a 68 Pro charged LS2 Camaro, a 70 Mustang convertible and an Audi RS4. So his loss was my gain. At least that's what I hoped for. As it turned out it's a solid car (original black plated SoCal car) that needs some TLC and needs little to finish.
I'm planning some mild (VBP) suspension mods, some 18" or 19" wheels and I also have the paddle shifted 4L80e . . . . There's also a 98 Fbody LS1 in my garage but I don't know if I'm going to swap that in since the SBC is fresh and should be able to put out a good 350hp.
Jeff Schwartz' 68 serves as inspiration as does the first Vette pic in my Photobucket account. Have a look @ http://s230.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/neki67/1968 Corvette convertible/
