Default Now What?

I can't beleive I did it. I just bought my first Vette. She's a 72 Stingray with T tops, 350/350 auto.
I did my homework and checked all the critical points; IE: Chassis rot, winsheld mount rust etc. All passed with flying colors. A miss turned out to be a broken rocker arm.
The car has a few issues but from what I can see nothing serious. I paid 12,800. 1] How is the price and 2] now what [besides driving and enjoying]
Thanks

Congrats on the new vette. It sure is exciting to getting a new vette. If there are no immediate saftety problems and if it were me I would make sure to drive the wheels off of it or at least until the new wears off. Then take care of anything that crops up. Good luck with your new vette and if you can post some pics of it.
