Default New 74 Convertible Owner

Thought I would start a new thread to introduce myself. Life long car lover, first time Vette owner. Picked up my car last night and drove it 35 miles home hitting up to 70 mph with no issues of any kind. Car looks beautiful the PO even installed the hardtop for me. Have to say I kind of like the hard top look also. Got about 20 lbs of documentation along with receipts for every purchase the PO made along the way of his 6 year ownership rough total I saw was well over $20k. Will get it up on the lift this weekend for some feedback from you all on the various suspension changes made by the PO. But so far no complaints car starts, stops and goes down the road straight. PO says his PO painted it in 2013 and its Porshe Red but looks very much like pictures I have seen of Millie Miglia red. Sorry garage photos only today, rainy day in Dallas.
