Default Officially a C3 Owner

As of today, I'm a Corvette owner again. A 1972 C3 Coupe. A few photos of the new arrival.

Thanks so much! I love it!
is it crazy that I keep going into the garage and sitting in it? Ya know to "check things out" (that's my excuse anyway).

I know it's a low option, base coupe, but it's mine and I've waited a long time to have it. 56k original miles, but I plan to put many more on the clock.

Thanks everyone! I can't stop looking at it.
It's definitely a survivor. Originlnal paint has some chips, etc., but I'm sure will come up with a good buffing.
Interior is in great shape for it's age, needs a good carpet shampoo and detailing. Smells like an old car.
Most importantly, frame and birdcage are solid, and the motor and transmission run great. I will be changing fluids sooner than later.
I already have a few questions. I'll start fresh threads with those. Please be patient with this C3 newb. I'm lucky to have this forum as a source of information and advice.

Glad to have new blood on the forum that appreciates Corvettes and plans on DRIVING his car.

Welcome aboard Great looking C3. I had a 1970 back in the day it was one of my best Corvettes.
