Default New C3 Owner!!!

Hello All! I just purchased an 1981 Electron Blue C3 from a member here by the name "ElectronBlueC3"

This car is awesome, and I'm excited all ready.



Here it is in it's new home! (NOT IN THE DRIVEWAY THOUGH, it will be safely parked in the garage.. I was just showing it off to the neighbors.)

Haha, not right away, it took a big chunk of my account, but that's ok! At least now I'm ready for spring and summer to cruise with the tops off!

Hopefully I can meet some other Corvette guys from my area!
