Default YAHOO!!! I GOT MY VETTE!!!
Well I finally got a C3!!! This is my first Vette and I feel like a little kid at Christmas. Here's some information on the car...

Year: 1970
Body: Convertible
Engine: 350/350 (although it has side exhasut and a new carb that makes the HP closer to 400)
Interior: Black
Exterior: Red (originally Donnybrook Green)
Misc: Numbers matching, no PS or PB, about 70% restored, overall in great shape

Pics are coming. I'm going to pick them up from the drugstore tonight and then scan them in (I don't have digital camera).

Cheers! :cheers:

Con-Gradts on your new/old C3 we all know how you fell. I just hope your dream doesn't become a money and dust magnet. Best advice I can give try to use stock GM parts. Enjoy
