Hi guy's! I am writing quick to say good bye and thank you for all the help you have given me over the many years when I was restoring my 37 Ford. Without your help she wouldn't be together and on the road. She is now sold and will be shipping out to sunny California very soon. Sounds like the new owner will take good care of her. Now the shopping begins for a mid 70's Corvette. I can hear you guy's booing me already!!! Take care! Don

So you are going through the change of life thing. Good luck to you.

Don, I find that many early Ford guys also like Corvettes. I have had 3 Corvettes along with many early Fords. Like them all. Shoot....I remember visiting GM and Skip at their shop in Punta Gorda, Fl.....he had several nice early Corvettes stored there

. Good luck to you! Pat

I always wanted to own a '63 to '67 Corvette. I might be tempted to trade one of my early Fords for the right one, but would never give up my only old Ford V8 just to own a Corvette.

Yes Don Good luck, I've build some pretty strong chebbys in my day just in case you need one. But don't tell anybody. Your Friend

Don, there are more cars out there, not just early Fords!

My wife is a big Corvette fan, second only to our '63 Studebaker Avanti however, she just got an early birthday gift that may change her opinion... Here's a photo of her new wheels...

I too like old Fords and vettes, my 56 vette sits next to my 32 and they seem to get along. Just because your not going to have an old Ford doesn't mean you can't still visit here. Good luck in your search for the new toy!

As done4 indicates, stay with us. The wealth of knowledge you've accumulated will undoubtedly help others and you know you will enjoy the chatter! I too have had many Vettes and love them also. None right now but always looking.
Best of luck

Vic, you sure do know how to treat the lady in your life!! That should buy you good grace for a loooooong time

. I think I see some new to you Early Fords showing up in the future at your garage

LOL!!
