I just wanted to introduce myself. I finally, after 54 years purchased my first c3. A 1977 silver coupe with 48k documented miles. I'm sure I'll be asking questions so thanks in advance for your help.

Beautiful car, a twin to my first Corvette I bought new in September of 1976. You might want to check the date on those tires, I don’t think they have made Eagle ST’s in quite a while.

Beautiful car! Welcome!

Looks like it was well-cared for except the tires. Probably the second set it's ever had.
