Default My first Vette - 70 Convertible
After 9 months of searching, finally found the right one - and right here on the forum (thanks Karfever)! I've wanted a early C3 since I was 11 years old. I have owned a variety of GM muscle, but always longed for a Vette...

Looks like your wish came true. Nice looking car. That will be a hot ride literally with the top down and the summer heat. Good luck with it.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! No offense, LS4 Pilot, could be worse Donbayers, the VIN is 194670S410416, and a 4spd (M20). Too hot now to drive in South Carolina during the day, gives me a good excuse to get up early on the weekends
