Hi everyone. I'm a new corvette owner since this past July. It's a 72 classic white LT-1 with air, black deluxe interior, power windows, power steering and brakes,and tilt/tele wheel coupe. It's far from mint but it is a good starting point. I'll have tons of questions for you guys comming up her pretty soon, as the winter months are comming here in northeast Ohio. I also have a 69 chevelle SS clone. that I bracket race on the weekends at my local track. If you care to see pic's of it go here. http://mickey.mega.net/grumpys_toy-ride.htm


Sorry, no pics of the vette yet, but I'm working on that.
This looks like a great site for vette info. I really can't wait to get some time to start working on it.
Hope I didn't bore any of you, just wanted to introduce myself somewhat.

Welcome to the party!

I don't think you will find a better place for Corvette answers and help on all of your winter projects.

Greetings and congrats on the rare find. I'd love to see the Chevelle, but the link gave me an error message. I bracket raced a '64 GTO (12.8 @ 1/4 mile) a while ago and miss it!

Welcome.

From one 72 owner to another...WELCOME
I always wanted a LT-1 but my budget decided otherwise.
Good Luck

Good luck with the Vette and the Chevelle. Next to my Vette, those Chevelles (late 60's & early 70's) are my favorite. This is the place for Vette info!
