This is my all original ontario orange 1972(OO72,double-o-72) chevy corvette stingray with saddle interior.it has 48,051 original miles and has the original NEVER before used jack and spare.it has a 1973 350/300? engine in it now,but im seaarching for a 1972 # matching motor.this car sat in a barn up in madison,wi for a few years and was sold to pay off debts to a cpa firm.the firm was asking $10,000 UNDER true value!!!ive owned this vette for a few months now and just love it! its wipers,tachometer and stock security alarm dont work right now. and being that i used to live in hawaii where it rains,i was sadly forced to keep her tucked away in my garage because i was  too scared to drive it with no wipers.anyways its got a muncie 4-speed tranny with a hurst shiffter.it currently has stock rally's on it,but hope to change them for some cool mags.also it has vynal int. and want the delux leather seats,so someday im going to modify that.and who wants stock exhaust?...NOT ME!!!!... i want a shiny set of hookers hanging and rumbleing from the side skirts instead of the boring stock exhaust.well this corvette is my first corvette and my FIRST CAR!!!! im in high school and im 16.i got this car as a birthday present.THANKS dad.well ive grown up around old cas and corvettes so i know what im talking about.well if you need or want any info. regaurding my car,hawaii or both...just leave a comment.thanks.

the corvette is now in tyler,texas and its got alot of other corvette freinds that park near it at my high school. theres a maroon 1980 vette[dont know the mods on it yet], a white 1979 vette[it needs a paint job,its got a 383 in it,automatic,gray int,custom stereo system,flowmaster 3' dual exhast,tinted windows,and thats all i know] ,a black 1985 vette[its had a recent paint job with silver ghost flames,blacked out c5 zo6 rims riding on 1996 complete chassis,its got a solid cam and a 6 speed manual tranny,the windows are tinted and it has red int.it has 93 zr1 ehaust tips with a borla exhast setup,its got modified motor with custom headers,thats all i know],a green 1985 vette[ this car was a parts car  for the 1995 green corvette coupe that the pricipal's son owns..its got everything the 1995 has,its also had bumper mods to make it look newer ], a black 1984 vette convetible[its an automatic,with black int,a white top,and its looks stock,i havent met the owner yet but still working on it], a green 1995 corvette [this car is owned by the principal.it was just a shell with no int,motor,trans,NO PARTS..just the body and frame..he paid 200 bucks for it and he spent 20 k restoring it. the car was titled as a 1995 but it had a 85' body.so he put 96 bumpers on it to update the look,it took him 5 years to do with his son,and my freind..its automatic,its got stock almost everything...just little things here and there..no MAJOR performance mods,but still it looks good!], a white 2001 corvette [its a converible with a tan top and tan int.its an automatic,its stock,but still NICE car], also the principal and my freind have a 1974 corvette[its got a blown piston and the motor and gears are all locked up...its been sitting under a back porch oning for over 10 years...its complete,just a MAJOR project..the car has a manual transmisson. this is a project that has been one of those "oh ill get to it one of those days......its been 10 years..i doubt with being a principal of a school with about 4000 kids that hes got time to start this project...so its a good guess to say this cars gunna be there for a while haha] well there is also an early c6 that also comes every now and then...

well my corvette just got new headlights,oil filter,it had its quadrjet rebuilt about 4 months ago and it i had it rebuilt and painted the bronze color to meet the the NCRS top flight standards,im still trying to locate springs to hold it open,cuz the holley parts dont fit the quad soo right now its got only half the carbs 2-4 barrels opening when you rev it,so im only geting half the performance..causing it to idle a little higher and rougher,its got a new battery [6 months old],my current project is the winsheild wipers..the door pops up when u manually open it with the control under the steering colum,and then u can turn it on and will work...sometimes haha..well its in the works for a new paint job,bt nothing set in place yet,its got good goodyear radial tires [brand new]..and thats all i remember right now..

 [11-4-08]

well my cars parked for good for a while,it wont start.it died out on me while driving home from school.it took me,my freind whos got the white 79 vette,and others to get it home...it took me 5 hours or so to get it home from the time it quit..so its put up for a while... =/

11-11-08

well good news,my car runs again! =] idk what it was,but i did alotta diff things and after that it fired right up..rough..but it fires..but still its gunna stay home for awhile..atleast till i know its road worthy and trusty haha well anywho..the cars got BIG plans for next summer! =] its gunna get a new motor [ncrs #'s matching] with who knows what all types of good "tricks" done to it to make it a "sleeper" ;D hehehe well anyways..the car just turned 48,132 original miles.
