That's cool Blair. Not much better than a father/son project like that. Memories that will last forever.

Thanks for all the kind words. The car has the Dark Orange interior, with Dark Orange Carpet (ought to be sharp when cleaned up). Car also has 3.36 posi and the Black vinyl hardtop. The only unfortunate things missing are the AG Rally Wheels (wears AZ wheels today), 219 Rochester carb (apparently a real trick to find), AC fuel pump and the original master cylinder.

Since the car was not running when we picked it up, and hasn't run in 10 years, we're goin to dump all the fluids and replace all of the rubber hoses and lines. Also going to drop the tank and clean it out - Hoping to find the tank sticker [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img].

So far we've only had a couple of hours to crawl all over the car, pulling every number we can find and logging them into a master sheet. He's taken a ton of pictures and will probably have to get his own log-in so he can share more. This is just the proud father spilling the beans on his most exciting Christmas (ever).

Blair

Hopefully when you drop the tank the original tank sticker is still there and legible if it still retains the original tank. Depending on how correct your son wants the car these cars look much better with the 1969 and up corvette 15x8 (AZ) rally wheels then the original 15x7 (AG) corvette rally wheels.
