    Help, Getting the Vette prepped for its sale

    The time has come to put the 1976 Vette for sale. However, I still have a box or 2 of parts that need to get installed and it needs to get fired up. Havent started it since 05 so its been a while. This coming weekend is one of the last full weekends i will get to put all my effort into it. That bein said, I would like for anyone who can assist me to come to my house and try to get this knocked out so i can find it a good home. I will provide food, beverages and, if need be, a place to sleep. Probably cook some burgers on the grill and any refreshments requested. Thanks

    Running, yes. Running strong, not so much lol. It just needs to move. It is a perfect candidate for an LSX conversion.

    as it sits i want to stay firm with 3000 which is what i paid for it running. Running i would like a little more but not sure exactly hw much. The rear suspension was rebuilt before I owned it and I installed a bunch of brake components that are new with zero miles. We didnt get it to run today because the radiator I got was too small so I will look for one in a junkyard on monday. Things left to do before I can fire it up:
    correct size radiator
    bleed the braking system
    oil change
    spark plug wires

    I want to make sure the brakes are functioning correctly before i turn it because as soon as it fires up, its going for a test drive around the block I also have some front suspension stuff that needs to go on. I'll make a new post in the for sale section when i feel like its ready for the board but if any one wants more pics and more info, feel free to pm me
