Lovely car, interesting that the number plate is 2 digits away from my 71.

 

[Adriana1]

Oh that’s the age repaired plate the DVLA gave me I guess they have a stock list of number for this sort of use

 

[Adriana1]

Thanks guys for the comments
I expect some Have see the really strange post by some member criticising my car and the type of wheel it had
I replied saying I like the car as is and also like the wheels
Seems he has now taken it
Down and my reply to him
It’s little wonder the club is going through turbulent times trying to get well placed stable and quality officials when Ignorant and irritating comments like that come out the blue

again thanks for the nice comments
I am happy to keep the car if it doesn’t sell as it drives and sounds so
Good
Keep well everyone

Looks good to me, including the wheels.

Cheers Bud
Yours also sounds like it would be a nice car- I do get a bit confused over the numbers ie LT1 etc, but as yours is a big block it would be great fun, mine has a 383 motor so revs very vast for a V8, and it has a lowered ratio "Street Diff" so takes off like a scalded cat and very easy to spin the wheels up
Thanks for the comments good to hear from decent people rather than the other pretentious P###k

Hope it will be when finished. Taking an age with one thing or another.

Was hoping it would be ready for this years show season but no season and furloughing has put paid to that. Always next year.

Apart from its original Rally wheels I've also got a set similar to yours so between you and me we'll have to start the NSWC,' Non Standard Wheel Club!'

 

[Sierra]

ignore any negative comments, it’s never going to be liked by all. I love it and only thing I’d change is removing the hemi badge.

If your interested in a custom c6 in exchange let me know.

 

[Adriana1]

Your dead right the bonnet badge was a moment of madness, it’s only stick on Chinese crap I think I will carefully remove it
Re C6 normally I would the only reason for sale is a bad back
So thanks but No

Yes let’s start the club
What do you have to do to yours, is it a new project

Its been ongoing for about two years and delays have been a curse. The more you look the more you find and getting spares from the US, particularly these days, has had its challenges. Third party suppliers have also been a little 'difficult' in particular the trimmer for the interior who took an age and trimmed in the wrong colour. Especially galling as he was provided with a swatch and how you can mistake blue for black is a mystery. Anyhow I think we;re on the home straight now but its the sequence of events which means that a minor delay from one supplier can mean a hold up for others in the chain.

Anyway enough of the gripes, all part of the journey as they say and looking forward to driving it again.
