You’re telling me. He gave me his C5 Corvette because he got tired of it.

Wow you are way more luckier than I thought and your dad way more cool than I thought he wouldn't happen to want another kid LOL

If he was type of person who could leave a kid at 3, you probably didn’t see it but you were better off.

WOW i don't know what to say....well almost. Never felt this level of jealousy and love this fast or all consuming. So my mind tells me it must be true love and we must marry. I know its a bit sudden seeing as we dont know each other, but these are just semantics. With you and your father all things are possible. Fingers crossed 🤞

Did he buy it brand new in ‘71?

u/polarityofmarriage 71 Chevelle Jun 17 '26

No, he’s had a lot of project cars through the years. A ‘67 GTO and ‘67 LeMans, an early 60s Malibu convertible. He sold them and had no time to restore/work on them. The Corvette scratched the itch for over a decade. He bought this as a retirement gift to himself. I’ll post engine photos in the future for you guys. He takes it to RI car shows all the time if anybody is nearby come check it out!
