77 Corvette For Sale in Georgia
What, they won't let you take it across state lines?
Unless you are moving to California or to NYC, what you really mean is you

Who Went To Fun Fest?

Who Went To Fun Fest?

Dad is usually right, but in some of these '70s GM cars, they used a screw

small automatic shift issue on 76 vette
