My New 76 C3
This is my new to me 1976 C3. The car was originally purchased in California and then the title was transferred to Arizona. I found it through my uncle, who winters in Arizona and is the neighbor of the previous owner. It has 40,000 original miles on it and has only had a little less than 200 miles put on it in the last 9 years. I'm new to owning a Corvette and new to this site. I look forward to reading and learning as much as possible, while enjoying my new to me car. Paul

Hello and welcome
One thing that helped me get the most out of the forum was learning how to use the search button on the top bar. Its a great way to find out lots of information on your car as you begin to learn more about it.
have fun with your new to you Corvette. From the photos you posted it looks nice.

Welcome aboard. A little advice, check the date codes on the tires, and do a search here to see why. Tires over 10 years old should be replaced no matter the condition.
Congrats on the sweet ride, Enjoy it!!!!!

Nice looking car, and congratulations. These are old cars and they all need work, but being lower milage car from CA and AZ is a great advantage.
