It took dad 48 years to own one.
It was his dream car, He owned thousands of cars before hand, But this was the one car he dreamed of.

Thanks for your kind words.

You can feel the true american muscle while driving, It's amazing for a 37 year old car. And the 350 has the boot. =)

Dad was a petrol head from when he was young.
80's express wagon!
They'd be getting rare these days wouldn't they ahha!

I plan on owning it till the day I die, And my little man can have it.
Although by then cars probably won't run on petrol lol.
And it will be old fashion to the youngens.




Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

The hole changing gears with your right hand feels weird for a few changes then gets pretty cruisey.
The main thing that I am constially watching is accidentally being on the middle line in the road.

But its not as hard as you think it is lol.

[BLKVESV6]

awsome car man.

[ethann]

Couple photos.
We ran a Cruise and a family fun day yesterday for the Connery Heart unit at the John Hunter Hospital (Newcastle) and raised close to $1000.
The Vet was the main attraction, I snuck in the the drive haha.

[ethann]

Few days old, Once healed abit will be going back in for the back ground

[patto_505]

bit of a bump i know. sick car mate and mad tat to match, def keep an update on both.

[ethann]

Bit of an update =), Bit old now but haven't been on.

[tim005]

Sorry to hear about your old man mate, even though this thread is old, still, not a good thing mate.
All that said though, the tatt is beyond awesome and getting left something your dad clearly loved is a gift from him to you mate.
When I build my VK in a few years I plan on leaving to my future kids haha.

Cheers buddy.
We all know death is certin and life isn't, But you never think about the what if's and it's so easy for your hole life to change within minutes. Hasn't been the easiest process but working through it =)

Dad leaving me the Vette was awesome, No one has enough money to replace it basically. Its with me for life lol. =p
So having something to leave to your kids will make you feel great about your self!

Also a new pic

Clean it up and park it and sit next to it and drink beer... don't modify it, keep it just the way your Dad had it.. Well that's what I'd do anyways...

Condolences mate.
