Hi,
I'm new here and just wanted to say Hi. I've been 'with' vettes for over 35 years.
My two babies are an '81 fully optioned 4 speed. It's a factory original one owner car....only the second set of tires and still has the grease pencil assembly line codes under the hood.
The other is a similar condition '84 coupe.
Neither gets driven much and both are 100% garage kept.
Well, that's pretty much me.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Gerry

Bought both of these from the original owner in '86. Had a mint '61 for many years and sold it....bought these two with the proceeds!
