Finally got my vette
I have wanted a red vette convertible since I was 16 yr old. Now, at 54, I have my first...a 1976 red convertible, all original with 32,000 original miles. I know nobody else really cares, but it thrills the hell outta me! New to this forum, so havnt figured out how to post the pics yet!!! I will be asking advice from you experts often, I am sure!

Congradulations....my story is much the same as yours. I got my first, and only, Corvette when I was 51-52. It too is a red convertible...1973. You are going to have a lot of fun with it.
