New To
Well this is a bit odd being over here in the "Old Car" section of the forum. We sold our C6 to a friend and bought our 1st and to me real Corvette, super happy right this moment. I know without photos here on the forum that unless it's seen, it doesn't exist. Forgive the first photo as it was taken last night right after we returned from the purchase. I'll make sure to take some better ones when it stops raining around here.
Duh, Title should have been "New To C3."
Be kind as I'm sure I'll have lots of noob questions.
1972 Coupe:

Nothing wrong with being "New To".
I still daily drive my C5, but moved to this forum when I got my 1970 in March.
Congrats!! Looks nice!!

Wow. That picture sure makes it look like Ontario Orange to me! Never would have guessed it to be Sunflower yellow!

Welcome, you have a beautiful C3. C6 & C7 are the only other Corvette newer body styles that do anything for me.
