First Time Vette Owner
Took delivery two weeks ago of my first Vette. 65' 327/365 HP Coupe, Rally Red, black interior and of course, side pipes. 
58,000 original miles on it and a survivor car. Absolutely love it. These mid years have always been my favorite. The car is as subtle as a wrecking ball. Just the sound at a stop light is worth it's weight in gold.
I'm also into offshore boats, but this will quickly become an "equal" hobby. The continuing perpetuation of my childhood.....

Matter of fact, my 65 (55k original miles, L76 with sidepipes) is not too far away from the solid gold experince you described!

formula, congrats on your new toy.
I'm a bit partial towards '65 L76 coupes with side pipes myself..........

Congratulations on your 65. The sweet music of side exhaust on a mid year never gets old. 34 years of that sweet sound for me. ENJOY IT!!!

Thanks guys.....
Soon as I can figure out how to post pix, I'll do so. This Forum is set up a bit differently than OSO, my home away from home. I do have a question with an issue I'm having but I'll start a new thread with it.

How do I do that in this forum??? I see some of you have "my corvette photos" listed, how do I do that. In the other Forum I live in I can just add attachments in any post but doesn't seem to be the case here.

Welcome to the best Forum for midyears! Your car looks great and I can relate to the impact it makes. You state your into off shore boats. Would that be Formula, and do you know Dan Fellner from up here in MD.? Until last year he owner and drove the Formula pace boat at many of the races. He's into midyear vettes and is now the General manager of Full Tilt Marine dearlership at Kent Narrows Md. Dennis

Thanks guys for the welcome. Just got back online after moving into my new digs. Wife and I are splitting up and she is heading for NC while I'm staying in Florida.
Yes, I own a Formula. I may know your friend by a screen name on OSO (OffshoreOnly.com). I'm one of the bigger posters there.
Will get some pix up asap.
Again, thanks. Russ
