Wow, ambitious project! Looking good, I want to do this too, but I have not built up the nerve to tackle a project like you are doing! Keep the pictures coming in on your progress.

Hi y,
A Corvette in France! I'll bet it gets lots of attention.
The pictures show what looks like a nice project going on.
Good Luck!
Happy New Year!

Alan

We've been to France and especially Paris quite a few times and always have a wonderful time. We enjoy the people, the shopping, and the food.

Yaya...did you have any problems bringing your Corvette into France? Was there anything you had to modify?

yaya38

No, It's very simple !
We have a special way to import old cars, more than 25 years. No modification needed !
Just taxes... 😭
