Default Noob with new C3

Hi all, I've posted here a bit before, but would like to formally introduce myself and my new (to me) 68, something I've dreamed of for a long time and the Mrs finally agreed to as a 30th anniversary present.

I know you guys like pictures, it's been cold and rainy since I looked at it and I ended up trailering it to Kentucky from Indy in the rain, so it's not very pretty right now, so here are some pics that the seller sent me:





By the way, I found it on the C3 for sale section of CF

Anyhow, I live south of Cincy OH and north of Lexington KY, have a 67 MGB that is in restoration (that will be sold when done to make room in the garage), have an American Quarter Horse (*****) that I ride when time and weather permits, 2 kids - 26 yo son & 15 yo daughter (that loves the vette!)

It was in the 30's today, but I did put about 50 miles on it. Of course being 40 years old there are several things that need attention so I hope you guys will bear with me as I take care of them.

Thanks for your help so far, Bud
