Hi all. I have been a member for some time because my father owned a C5 and I would help him with issues and questuions. He just sold that car and I dove in this weekend and bought a 1978 Pace Car. I have already found great help searching threads here. Thank you to all who make this such a great resource!

Big smile even though it doesn't run well now. It looks good in the pic but its a bit rough. Lots of work to do outside, inside, and mechanically. That's the only pic I have at the moment.
