Default New 88 Vette!

Hello all, I am a new member here and I have already found tons of great information. This weekend my dad and I bought a 1988 35th anniversary edition corvette. While the car has 140000 miles and it needs a little bit of cosmetic work, we were able to pick it up for $3500. I am so excited to have this car and I cant wait to fix it up and drive it. Anyways, yea this is my first post and I think these are great forums from what I have read so far. Thanks for reading.

Congrats on your purchase. These cars are so much fun I'm surprised they aren't illegal.
