Default Finally got another Corvette

I have been looking for the last 6 months since I sold my 89 for another C3, looked at a lot of them. Finally on Monday I found and bought one. 1976, dark brown with saddle leather, 86,000 miles, L48, Automatic and power windows and AC. It's a nice car and the previous owner has had it since 1989. It had one repaint back in the 80s and then it was minged. It even has good tires and runs and drives great. It's nice to have a Corvette again.
