Congratulations Mike! And I now I share in YOUR excitement!
Would love to see a side shot of those wheels! Color combo is beautiful, unique and very cool. Tank sticker AND 427 - you hit the lotto!
Can't wait to hear about your drive home. Mine was only about 30 miles, and I could have driven all day.

Beautiful car! I am currently looking at 68-72 c3s both convertible and coupe, what price range did you find yours in if you dont mind my asking. Doesnt have to be a specific figure a general amount would be fine. Thanks

Thanks guys! The car wasn't driven for 4 years and the seller had never taken it on the highway so we did the usual per flight inspection lights, fluids and a little cruise to get fuel.
The drive home went Flawless, Took my time getting use to all the sounds, controls and handling, Quite a ride but due to construction most of the cruise was 50kms due to road construction on the TCH, in hindsight a good thing as in my excitement I forgot to check the air pressure in the wide ovals it was 15lbs in the front 20 in the rear(I though the car felt soft!!!
Noticed a few small things that needs to be fixed Temp gauge, clock and I gotta pull the wire to that buzzer!
Regards
Mike

Looks great! That is one of my favorite colors. I built a model of that car in that color when I was a kid (when that car was new) and it just stuck with me.
I hope Mike does not see this post or he will bust your butt and make you give him your definition of " matching numbers" .

I'd say love at first sight.
That's a beautiful Vette.
