Default NW Chicago Suburbs

I might be jumping the gun a little here but is there someone who owns a C3 Corvette in the NW Suburbs of Chicago area (I'm in Wheeling) that might like to teach me a few basic things about these cars?

I'd really like to take a closer look and learn more about their suspension, engine, interior, etc. and some of their features/issues. I don't know really how much it matters but I am just out of school, like all kinds of racing- drag, road, and circle track. I've put together a few SBC engines but don't know much about these animals.

I commute from Wheeling to Fox Lake daily and would be willing to drive anywhere near or between those two places. Could be a weekend or weekday, no rush at all. My email is limithandling@gmail.com and cell is 847-370-5144. A PM would work also.
