New to the Corvette hobby
Hello all,
I guess you could consider me new to the Corvette club. I have loved Ford Mustangs for years now. My old man has a 1965 convertible and I have a 1995 GT that I play around with, but I have always had a love for Corvettes. With that in mind, I will be selling my '95 GT for a down payment on a new house to be built with a three car garage, that I hope to have populated with a 1968-1972 Corvette in the next year. So I just wanted to introduce myself and I want to soak up as much knowledge from all of you that I can, so when I find my dream vette, I'll be ready to purchase it.
Thanks,
Adam Waddell

Welcome. There is a great amount of knowledge and experience here. Take every advantage. Learn to use the search feature here because there is a wealth of information in the archives. Just FYI Corvette owners wave to each other while on the road (most of them anyway) so if you see a Vette, any year, give a big ol'e :seeya I guess Mustang guys do that????

Also a hardy welcome from Texas! When you start looking if you can find a good candidate out of a state like Arizona you might save yourself alot of pains down the road. Not much rust!

Welcome! :seeya
Good move hanging around here first. You'll see threads about stuff that typically goes wrong with the cars you're interested in buying and know what to look for when you buy one. :D
