Default A newby on board.

I've been lurking for a few months. This is a great board. A little about myself. I'm a 51 year old male. I've owned a 72 vert for 28 years. It's an
L48, air, pwr brakes and steering, non-restored, but, highly maintained to it's original condition with 77,000 original miles. Still has original seat covers, door panels, and spare tire. White, with both tops. Well, enough about me. I'll be around.
