New C3 owner
Hello all
New C3 owner. Actually this is my 3d C3 and 10 Corvette owner.
I was lucky enough to get this 1 owner car and hope to keep it as close to the way it was born but still making my improvements. The car is like a time capsule. No expense was spared. All prior work to it was done at Gulstrand in Burbank and always sat in an air Conditioned garage in Calif. There is absolutley no rust. None! Its has no leaks or creaks and rides like a new 72 Coupe. Its 4spd AC PB/PS car. Thats about all. Small Calif smog motor, which will probably be replaced and the put away for the next owner. Its never been opened and has 120K documented miles.
The only non original part of the car is the paint. It was done about 10 years and looks like it was done last week. On a 1-10 scale its a 9-3/4. First order of business is new tires (these are 21 yrs old and I drove the car from LA to Phoenix). These look new but I am lucky to have survived the trip. And some AC work and a few creature comforts. The first being a right side mirrror. I can not safely drive without one and will do as little damage as possible installing it.
Bout it for now
Thanks for any help given, and dont forget our fallen brothers and sisters today.

I watched the auction on BAT... Looks to be a great car and I love the color that was chosen by the previous owner.. Congrats!
