I sold it because it had more rust than a ship wreck but man, I’d like to have another one.

Y’all think you know rust. That’s the lower A-arm just dangling in the breeze.

But she was pretty. Two cars I no longer own. I’ve told myself that my next three cars will be a 1969 Corvette, 1969 Fiat 124 Spider, and a 1972 Jaguar XJ12 in that order. It’ll be a while but I’d like to own one again.

Not to rub salt in the wound or anything, but I've been told that you can pick up brand spanking new Europa chassis for not that much at all...

You sure can, but it would have cost me about 7k in parts alone if I were to put it all back together. (Remember the CAD dollar is weak so we get slaughtered when buying parts from the UK or US) And at the time, driver quality cars were selling for 9k so I didn’t see the value of a resto. Still a cool car.

Yeah I can see that adding up to a no-go.

Over here Europas are bloody expensive, which is a real shame as I really want one.

How's the search coming for the Corvette?

Sigh. Nothing showing up recently. I liked the gold one in Nova Scotia but the seller fell off the earth. No answers to my many calls or emails.

Talk to this guy, it’s been sitting at his place at least since 2009. It’s in the town next to me, I ride through every weekend and wonder when he’s going to finally do something with it.
