[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3623007, member: 15054"] 1976 Corvette I regret buying a little. It had chaulky red faded paint and torn seats wasted door panels and carpet and cracked dash and I figured for the $3000 I paid for it I would just sand it and paint it and get some replacement interior stuff. Yea that stuff was expensive for the interior. $1400 The paint was the worst deal. After sanding it i found spider web cracks and straight line cracks and not a single body line lined up. I spent nearly a year doing body work on it to make it straight. At car shows I see original corvettes in the same time frame and not a single panel lines up. Buddy always wanted a 76 Vette so he told me on a fishing trip. I told him I had one in the shed I would sell for what i paid for it 3000 bucks. I said it is stupid quick and will swap ends on you if you do not watch it. It had different heads and camshaft than what was factory. It now has ported heads and a tunnel-ram with 2 4's sticking out of the hood. He loves it. [/QUOTE]
