1st Vette!

Hey everyone,

Been a member for a long time but rarely posted mainly due to not having a Vette. That all changed a couple of weeks ago when I became a member of the permanently affixed BSEG club -

.

I picked up a '73 in Arizona and drove her back to Texas. Here are a few pics.

Looking forward to finally participating on this site.

You got yourself a nice vette. '73 were my first choice but i finaly ended up with my '78. I remember how pride i was when i bought my vette. I was so proud that i would have wave to every car coming the opposite lane.
