bought a C3
Didn't think I buy a corvette this soon but I did.
On by way to Carlisle Pa. On Fri. Pulled in to a Service Plaza in Pa. Seen a corvette on a trailor with a for sale in the window. Waited for the person to come out & by then I had inspected the under carriage. We talked he started it up looked the inside over . Came to a price & it was mine. A 1969 300 hp 350cu convertible with the hard top with 41,000 mi. 3 speed & best of all no air conditioning. very few options.He is the 2nd the owner of the car & he owned it since 1972 .He was nice enough to trailer it to my house.
So Terrry once again thanks for the nice car.
Pictures comming

Congrats on your new 69. I love to hear stories like that. Did you continue on to Carlisle?
I put a bedroom over my garage. If I buy another Vette my wife will have me living up there.
