About “? Lucky ?”
I bought this vette in 2005. I have always wanted one. It was fun working on it, finding different parts needed to improve performance and looks. I wanted it to look different from any other 82. The color looks orange in the daytime and red at nite. 2 good friends, ( Larry & Rodney), helped me to get it where it is today. I really enjoy driving it on cruises and I show it at cars shows. I have received many trophies including Best GM, Ladies Choice, Best 80's, and Best 80's Corvette along with the Top 50's ect. I like going to shows, hanging with the other guy's, seeing there cool cars and getting different ideas from other 82 vettes on how to improve mine. I love driving it.
About “Black Magic”
Found this car for sale at a car show in Joliet IL, and my wife talked me into buying it. It's the 4th Thirdgen Camaro I've owned. When I bought this car is had 15x8 rims in the rear and 14x7's up front, and the exhaust consisted of headers straight out to two 40 series Flowmaster mufflers and no tailpipes. You couldn't hear the person in the passenger seat while driving down the road, not to mention the spark show it gave off when it hit any bumps.
