Hey Morgan, congrats on the new vette, she looks great in person too. Now we need to take her for a cruise in the mountains.

Congratulations! That is a nice looking Vette. Are you still pinching yourself, do you get giddy while driving it? I know the feeling. It's great to hear that you found a nice one.

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments, to answer some of the questions;
The car is in Southern California, I bought it in San Diego and it now lives in Huntington Beach. I've got very little information on it's history, it is an out of state car but I think it's been here a while.
No I haven't stopped grinning!
It has the T-Top carrier option but I don't actually have the carrier, does anyone know where I can find one?
A question from me, does anyone know a reputable mechanic in the HB area who knows corvettes, there's a couple of things I'm not going to be able to do myself!
Thanks again!

Looks great and pretty clean.
Did 80-82s have the option of body colored T-Tops?

Find a local corvette club and they can tell who to take your car to.
