Default New Guy On the Block

I just found CorvetteForum.com and have been "lurking" around for a few days. Looks like a great site with some great guys (and gals)...so I joined. I'm an old timer when it comes to Corvettes. My '69 427/435 has been a member of our family since early 1970. It's been a great car and faster than I care to think about. The car is setup just the way I want it and hopefully it will remain as my number one car until I assume room temperature. I'll take some pictures and post them and hopefully be able to contribute to the C3 part of the forum. At 55 years old (er...young) you could say I've "been there, done that" when it comes to 'Vettes. They are indeed the best and I love mine as much to day as the day I got it. Since we're all enthusiasts and have this wonderful machine in common, I look forward to spending as much time as possible on this site.

More to come......

Welcome!!!!!!!!!! Sweet year of Car (well there all sweet, but I love 69s). :cool: Hey now you're not that old, any man that still likes to hot rod the old vette is young at heart, and that's where it counts! Great to have another good experienced vette guy on board. This place is great!
