Thumbs up Thanks Jerry 4 sharing


Hi z`Jerry & thanks for posting/sharing your Hot Rod &
also your Father's gift to you.

I just recalled who you were seeing your enlarged pictures
of your posted cars.
Your Corvette was one of my friend Spaces favorite cars.
I remember him calling me to his `puter to show it to me
when you posted it several years ago.
Space then researched it and loves that year with a 350/350,
the four speed & the side pipes
You had a special father 4-Sure...I searched Space's file
and he had notes that you had a grandson `Logan.
Is he driving now ?
Thanks for sharing + bringing back good memories of
the past on the MCF

Hi `Shawn, you have an expensive home


They put a lot of $'s in2 that Corvette & it's beautiful, but it's 2 nice to drive on the street. That price is from a auto auction.
To me it's Auto Art & nice for Car Shows, but I'd be to afraid to drive in on the roads today.
