i am also someone looking for my 1st corvette, it might be a bit down the road b4 i get one....but have been looking....

would love to see pics of this one...

i can't talk from experience, but i would recommend reading through the posts on the site and the 10 rules for buying a C3.
and i know there are different reasons folks want to own one....as most say: having it be a money making prospect is probably not a good one...

i look at it from the joy and experience of hoping to own one some day, of course that joy and experience can entail the co$t to keep it running to have more fun and experiences with it.....

as some say: i doubt i'll ever find a "perfect" 3C vette...well, or i'll never be able to afford one....

sometimes my mom's old mantra of: "you're buying someone else's headaches" comes to mind....and for some reason even w/ this in mind, i still want a car that can be 34 yrs old or older...it's a strange obsession....good luck!

Nice post

My mother used to say the exact same thing about buying other peoples old cars. But she actually loved my old Vettes,,,,,when she thought about it she said at least it kept me out of trouble ..for the most part anyway...she also told my father ( a non car) person , well he could find worse things to do. She bought me my first car , a 74 Z28
