That is a dead giveaway that there's some serious rot going on that someone is trying to hide

"Numbers matching LT1 with an M21 muncie" is a drivetrain and condition combination normally worth close to 40,000 dollars. This is a "too good to be true" ad, for sure

Didn't see your comment above mine

$40k just because their numbers matching is insane though

they're*

Yeah, they're kinda rare, the LT1s. Only available for 3 years and about 1800/ year ordered

72 was the only year you could also option an LT1 with air conditioning

Is that a mopar in your profile picture?

Ford

But I'm a vette guy, at heart

Ah. I can't see for shit with this tiny little circle

I have this ratty shitbox

Right on

I'm a GM guy at heart, but I spread the love for Mopar and Ford as well

The frames on these old vettes like to rot from the inside out. They're a fully boxed frame

Moisture gets in but has a hard time getting out

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't that the primarily fiberglass body generation?

They're all glass body, although I'm not sure about the newest ones from the last couple decades. They might be a less expensive plastic

I sold my shitbox because I decided to ditch my job as a plumber and go back to school

I don't miss blue collar work but I do miss being a grease monkey

I enjoy wrenching, too, but it's starting to wear on my body

It's tough without a lift

Yeah. I fried a wrist, dropping a muncie on it

Jesus

My back is doing better, but I used to wrench on solid concrete underneath this thing and trucks for years

Only 23, feel twice my age, sometimes. But I'll manage

I need to get my wrist looked at. It's been bothering me on and off for weeks. I thought the ace bandage and being easy on it would help but that hasn't been the case

I just turned 24. Almost 4 years of plumbing and I felt the same way. 50 hour work weeks of crawling in crawlspaces and underneath kitchen sinks was wearing me down

Holding 10 footers of 2" black pipe over my head all day

Shit gets old man

Yeah... Fuck that

I'm fortunate that my trade isn't very taxing on the body

Yeah I give blue collar workers a lot of credit. Many people don't realize how physically demanding and labor intensive your work weeks are
