Maybe I should call him to see if I can pick up some parts I dont have like a Tri power intake for a 67. They are a little taller than the 68-69 versions. Date codes and numbers are not a concern to me. Most dont know what they see anyway. I have new carbs. I need something to keep me busy anyway since I retired and I want to make it road worthy and comfortable to drive on long trips. Im building a new 40 X 60 garage at the moment on 5 acres. My plan is to spend my last penny about 30 seconds before I drop dead.

Terry, It sounds like you're having way too much fun. I'll be down in the Indiantown area next month looking for 3-5 acres to put the same size garage on. I was thinking pole barn, what are you putting up? cost? --------Great plan by the way :-)

Hi Dan....Im looking at a metal construction package with a 15 ft ceiling so I can have another car lift. The kit is about $35,000 done and installed on a concrete slab and can take about 150 MPH winds. Then I need to insullate and wire it. I did that in Md. so Im able to run the elec. I have the time so why not? I miss the lift I had in Md. Im going out of town from here so I can shoot my guns whenever I want. Cant do that here unless I want to kill a few neighbors (Hummmmm, not a bad idea) Be careful where you go in Indian Town unless you can speak spanish. Need I say more. Its about 1 1/2 hours from here. I sold the Hot Rod (35 Chev Coupe) a cpl of months ago so I need a new project. Always loved the Vettes of old. Its OK here but more like the "Land of the Living Dead". You can watch the movies of this place on the Si-Fi channel most any weekend. Bunch of REALLY OLD non-car types. They hate my loud Harley to sooooooooooooo.....screw'em Ive had it with these old bastards. I hate Golf and wouldnt play cards on a bet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol !!! I got a few neighbors like that too. The area I'm looking at is east of Indiantown and about 30 min. out of Stuart. It's pretty uninhabated but close to my boss's current condos on the beach. Or you could rent me a cot in the corner of your building and I could bring my loud Harley too. :-)

We would be BSing and telling each other "lies" all day.........LOL Nothing would ever get done! Im checking out 3 lots tommorow morning. One is 4 1/2 acres, one is 5.6 acres and the 3rd is 8 acres. 2 have water and elec. already run in. Cant wait to get started. There isnt much of anything right in Indian Town. I was thinking you wanted to be close to Palm Beach Raceway? I didnt know you had a Harley ! I thought you only rode Oldsmobiles.

Black 04 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper . Had this one about 8 or 9 years. Had em all my life till last wife. Now she's gone and the hog is back, along with all my junk.-------:-) A cooler full of beer 50-60's on the radio a couple local well preserved divorces' cooking some steaks on the grill and we wouldn't care if we got anything done. ..... Would be curious to know what those places are going for though.

I don't know what you are talking about when you say ZR - 1. I know that the 69 Vette Barrett bought from Penske was a ZL-1 and virtually a new car.

That was a "mis- type" on my part. I meant to type ZL-1. All Alum engined Corvette in 1969.

Heh Heh Sounds good. My "Nasty Nurse" would love that. Let you know how much when I get back and what they are like. Have to be careful not to buy swamp land.
