Default Hello everyone

I have joined the world of corvette lovers with my recent and first time purchase of a 1978 vette. I wanted to say hello and I am sure I will have many questions for some of you. My vette is 2 tone anniversary colors, 4 speed manual trans, L-82 engine, black leather interior and I love it so far. Nice to meet all of you and thanks in advance for all of the help in the future.

Welcome to the insanity! :lol:

You will not find a better source of info on the net for your C3 Corvette. And a really nice bunch of guys too! (Well for the most part) :rolleyes:

You will find that the only "requirement" is that we gotta see some pics. Please post some soon!

Again Welcome!

:seeya

Welcome to the forum 78vetteman. Sounds like you have a nice vette. Take the time to go to the top of this forum and click on "Forums"..... that will open up a drop down and you will find "Help & Feedback". From there you can go into the Help section and there are discussions on how to post pics.
