Default Just Bought my first Vette!

Finally pulled the trigger and towed this beauty home last night. This is my first vette and I am stoked for spring to come. Can't wait to go to my first show.

Yes, the guy also kept bowls of moisture absorbant packets in and under the car. He also never touched the car with his bare hands always used microfiber rags.

Hi e,
I agree! That's a great looking 72 convertible!
The timing is just about perfect… you should be able to get out soon and begin enjoying it.
I hope you get a lot from pleasure from owning it and driving it.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

I agree. The first one is amazing. The seller actually took that one and sent it to me before I bought it. It's definitely frame worthy!
