First Drive
After close to 5 years of restoration, finally got to drive the car for the first time. First time EVER driving a Corvette. After all the horror stories of how they drove, it handled well. Was very tickled with the power, sound and the ride wasn't bad either. I think I will have a lot of fun with it. Looking forward to throwing some paint on it soon!

You've gotten a Safe car after 5 years......a good coat of paint will give you a beautiful car!
The older C3's are definitely a step back in time, and yet they were advanced for their time. Some people do not understand the difference and have trouble adjusting to a 40+ year old vehicle.
Take your car for what it is and enjoy it.....everyone who sees you drive past them will definitely enjoy looking at it.
