Hi all I have just joined this forum, I have been browsing for a while and it is a great resource.

I am looking at buying my first corvette in the near future but am learning all that I can about them first.

I would like to get a 69 to 71 big block coupe. I’m not looking for a show car an older resto or original driver would be good.

Just thought that I would introduce myself

Jason

Welcome Jason.
You've come to the right place to meet good people who are very willing and able to help you with any questions you may have.
I have been restoring my 68 for the last 8 years and between my Assembly Manual and this forum, have always found all the answers to anything I needed to do or know.
Good luck with your search for your Corvette,
Kurt
