Default Hello all!

New here! just signed up today. Currently awaiting delivery of the new to me 68 Corvette I bought with a 327/350 4spd in it. The purchase was a result of the need to replace my fun car that I recently managed to total, a 65 Factory Five 65 Shelby Daytona I built and have had sine 2010. Not new to the world of Vetts as I did have a 1970 in the past as well as a few other Chevy's (such as a 65 Impala SS vert) but truth be told my wife is pure Ford and my daily driver is a 2016 Ford Mustang Eco-Boost (love it, 310hp with paddle shifting 6spd!) Once it gets here I will put up some new pics, in the mean time, these will do.

No, that was Miss Cincinnati at the Miss Ohio pageant back in 1988. It's held in Mansfield Ohio. I got her in my ride. I'm in Streetsboro Ohio, near Kent and Clevland. Go Indians! er, Gardinas! Yes International Blue is the color and it will be here tomorrow.. That will give me 1 week in the 50's to have a little fun with it prior to putting it away and doing some detailing to it over the winter.
