Subject: Dad's 91 Project by JeffK on 2010/12/21 16:45:24 In 1995ish my dad bought a Beautiful blue '88 then we moved to Florida and I spent a couple of months driving it around. It was awesome for a 21 year old to cruise top off around West Palm Beach. He had that car for about 12 years then he traded it in on a '76. Which is also beautiful and he's put a lot of time and work into it including pulling the engine, swapping heads, cam, carbs, etc. The list is too long. This summer I drove up to PA to see him and for us to attend Corvettes at Carlisle. While there we did some work on my '90. Apparently this brought the C4 bug back for Dad. I don't have any before pics but he bought a white '91 with red interior from a guy in NJ. The guy admitted that it had been lightly hit in the front end but claimed it was repaired correctly. Dad noticed some things once he got it home that told another story.
