Just picked up my christmas present. A red 79. Love the lines. I have been wanting a vette for a long time. I'm sure I will have questions as I beging my journey. Happy Holidays to All.

Frank, Congrats on the vette and have fun. I am waiting on the 72 to come back from the paint shop. Having it painted in a Baldwin-Motion theme. Should be delivered week after Christmas. Anyway, enjoy your Vette and welcome.

Wow, almost missed this thread. Our new member just had some :thumbs: upgrades done to his fine new car. Hoping he will list them for us! Plus we need some pics. Perhaps we can get some taken at Corvette Saturday at the Pavilions here in Scottsdale AZ this weekend. I'm happy because I got his original alloy wheels!
