Kinda new here.
Hello...I registered some years back with a 1979 project vette.
I sold it shortly after. Seems I didn't quite have enough time as I thought to work on it like I had planned.
This weekend, I purchased a 1972 numbers matching 350, 4-speed.
It is steel cities gray with black interior. This one is ready to go
I can't wait for some warmer weather so I can get out and start cruisin'.
I really don't know that much about Vettes, so if you don't mind, I may have a few questions from time to time.
Anyway, I plan on sticking around with this one

Welcome back. You are not the first one to buy a vette without having very much knowledge and won't be the last... so ask away with the questions. I myself had never even changed oil in a car when I purchased mine.

I bought it from a guy in Rockwall...he purchased it in June 10 from someone in Allen,Tx.
I'm actually trying to get in touch with him to learn a little more about the car's history. Do you happen to know anything about this car??
