Hello To All,

New to the forum & corvettes.Don't know to much about then but I'm learning.
Why you ask. Don't hit me to hard but I have always liked Porsche's. I owned 4 Porsches & have very good luck with them . It was the only car I wanted since I left College. I live In Va. but moving back to NE Ohio.I'm looking for a Corvette 68-72.

Thats cool, Porsches are great cars, so long as you are very very careful when you work on them. Vettes are built like tanks

And never, ever install a stereo system in one. I think I still have marks from the one time I did that...and that was almost 7 years ago. Took the better part of 20 hours.

I'd still take one of those 911 Turbo's with the wider rear fenders. Those were also a sharp looking car! :beer:
The difference is that i'd want the Porsche is to the 2nd "toy" after the Vette(s), not the primary toy. The Vetts still come first for me

good luck on your Vette search, Chrome bumper C3's are beautiful cars - still my favorite C3 years
