Default My first Vette


Just picked up my first Corvette. Always loved the C3 ever since I was a kid. I hunted around for some time before finding this, couldn't pass up the great deal I got on it.

Man that paint looks nice! I also like those wheels and almost bought a similar set today, but I couldn't decide whether I wanted them powder coated gray or black with no trim ring.

Oh and congrats! I've had my semi fixer for a couple weeks and I'm still excited about it, despite its flaws.

Congrats on the purchase. I also still have my 1st, some 30 years later

Any plans on modifying?

Thanks all,
no plans to modify it any more then whats been done. The cat was removed and piped for a true dual exhaust. The original engine was rebuilt and has 4300 miles on it and new disk breaks were added all prior to my buying it.

I replaced the original radio with a retro-Sound to keep the original look.
