Good goin', Dave!!...great write-up and pics...and you're right...some serious TLC and that baby will shine again!!...:clap:

Dang Dave thats one sharp lookin V you got there! Whatcha got under tha hood? I see that Alpha hanging out back. V6?

Yeah...what else ya holdin' back?...pretty nice stable-mate for the 21 ya got there...is that about a '74?

Wow Dave, that's a real beauty. I especially like the stainless steel support brackets on the windshield. Nice touch.

Good job on being able to help a future cult member!!
now about that top, i'm sure the boys at the factory never had that in mind when they designed the V,
so how bout i come up and take it off your hands for you, i'm sure your ride and mpg will improve.
jk, sweet set up, but i will come get it if your tired of people bugging you about it...

Wow! You guys have some bad memories! This is the V I sold about 4 years ago! Its still in the V20 Gallery............and I thought you guise was sharp! HA! But I always welcome positive comments! I do miss her, especially those swivel seats....the 21 don't do that :(...she went to a diver in Virginia Beach....haven't seen it since......I had a lot of time and $ in her.....feel free to ask questions...I may have the answer! D

She was born and still had a 165 Mercruiser (250 straight six Chevy)I replaced the tired engine with a Jasper unit.....replaced the complete sterndrive unit with a Sterndrive Engineering assy...they are out of Fla......I guess they are still around...the only problem with that outdrive which I called and complained about was the poor paint adhesion...the short time I used before selling it had started to bubble around most of the edges...they admitted to the problem saying some units were painted during heavy Fla humidity,,,,Gee I thought that was normal down there! Hmmmmm, maybe I'll google em and see if their still around.....anyone heard of em?? D

Thanks Reel! I do my best!

I know you do, Dave...just as I was postin' the business about a stablemate for the 21, it started slowly comin' back to me that you had a stern-drive you had parted with...I almost canceled the post and I said, "Naaa!!"...and went on w/it...glad you set the record straight!!...

I remembered! :hi: Nice write up Dave.
