Is there a Pelican style corvette BBS out there?
I am looking for a Pelican Parts style BBS which serves the Corvette community. Does anybody have a website which can help me out. I am purchasing my father-in-laws 1978 L-82 Indy Pace Car which needs some restoration work.
Thanks, Speedy

Sounds like a good spin-off! Include GTO's, Chevys and Ponies...

Sweet! Thanks man. I registered as speedracing944. Do you think they will hang me? LOL. I have never worked on a Corvette before and have only driven it once a long time ago. It has been sitting for 10 years and has 2.5" of dust on it. The interior needs to be gutted, the brakes need love, tires need replacement, and the motor needs a small amount of work. The car was purchased brand new by my wifes Grandmother then given to my wifes father. He only drove it for 10K miles and then it sat. It has only 42K miles on it and the paint has had a bullet proof coating of dust on it. When I put it on the trailer I think I am going to write on the dusty back window "To Be Restored...."
Thanks again, Speedy

I'm registered there as rcecale. Not sure if I've ever posted or not. I think I've only been a lurker.
Maybe it's time I got a little more involved in the V-car.Oh, don't forget to add yours to your signature! Randy

Actually the Corvette is for my wife. She grew up with it as a child and now it just sits collecting dust. Since I have a soft spot for unused sports cars no matter what brand, we going to purchase it and get it back to show room condition.
As for myself it's Porsche or nothing. So the www.littledick.com web site doesn't apply to me. (It is kind of funny though) Speedy

As for targa911s' website, I had no idea that place even existed. I wonder how HE knew so much about it?  Randy

 My dad used to have a 2001 Vert I used to make fun of him all the time. He now has a completely restored 1993 RX-7 he gets a lot more attention form the "real" car aficionados with that. He sold the Vette shortly after buying the RX-7 because he never drove it anymore.
