Thanks guys. Yeah, I got extremely lucky with it. Really solid car. Good bones. So I can finally stop chasing my 87 Burdundy 442. :D

Long story, but pretty good. Hope you all read it. Got off work Friday, went to my local watering hole to shoot some darts and decompress from the day. Buddy of mine shows up, said he just went to look at a car. Said it was really solid but needs a new roof skin, so he passed on it. Nice older...

Yeah he finally fixed it. :)

This makes 5.5, 10.5. 13.5 hrs round trip to see a car I walked away from. 87 442. Burgundy. Im not afraid of spending money, but it has to be worth it.

I get that they arent as common as they once were. I am happy to pay a reasonable price for one. But my examples are ppl trying to play the game, overpriced for the uninitiated. I have no problem paying good money for a good car. But man, show me a good car at a realistic price, or even them...

So for some reason some of the pics didnt come throught. The last car was this, was 35k, now 28k or something https://www.ebay.com/itm/225690313936?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Oh let me elaborate for the uninitiated. Just a few. Black tape on the seat? and missing the seat a Ok, its a decent car. Id buy it, bucket seat, hardtop. Dont even want to deal with them. Next.... Another 87. Wow, yeah, I want to buy this with the respray on the bottom of the doors for...

The reason I ask this is, holy sh*t, I have been building these cars since 91. All I see now online is crap cars, 19k, 35k, and they have so many problems. I get it, you can ask what you want. Caveat blah blah blah. On facebook, craigslist, ebay, all the same. Does everyone think there 8x...

thanks for that. Kind of what I was looking for. Someone who has done it before. I dont do youtube as I would rather ask real people who have done it and can ask questions. Hope you get what I mean. Cars empty so good there. Should be sunny so yeah hat etc. Good plan.

As the title states, I live in Erie and we have a local group, Misery Bay SCCA group who races at Lake Erie Speedway. First meet up is May 4th. I do need to get new tires but just wondering what all else I should probably prep for it.

Thanks, yeah I have been looking for a Cutlass or 442 but wont pay those outrageous prices ppl are asking for them now. Ran across this, figured why not, for the price I can do anything I want to it and have fun. :)

So buddy at work texted me. "hey I heard you missed getting a project car during one of our meetings. My brother has a car hes looking to sell. Not sure if you would be interested.' I asked, sure, what is it. "Its a 1987 Corvette". Hmmm, not really my thing. How much does he want for it...

Awesome thanks. Just what I needed.

Helping a buddy work on his Cutlass and he removed the fuel tank to replace it with a new one, and to clean everything underneath. I cant remember where the pigtail for the sending unit plugs into. Any help? Pics?
