Default Introduction / New Corvette

Hey everyone my names Kyle. I'm 25 and work in investment banking industry in nyc. Previously, I grew up in ohio (still have the blue collar roots) and have owned 94 lt1, two 99ws6 trans am, and a 2002 ws6. I sold all the cars to move to manhattan.

Anyway, I found a guy who was in need make payroll for his shop work mans comp and well...I have a 78 corvette. Read to the end for the best part.

The corvette will mainly be a street car. My days of poring money into cars or at least on hold. The car has no rust, t tops, the inside is not great, but no rips in the seats, it has 70,000 on it (not original motor)

Anyway, I got the car for 2 grand Surprise! Theres no rust at all I checked the birdcage and t tops. I'll try to upload some pics, the paints not GREAt, but it's not bad there about 4 places were it will need to be touched up. Tires and rims are in great shape.

Best,

ko

PS One thing I would like to do is change the spoiler. I have not read that much about it, but from what

I understand it's common for these to leak if changed. Idk you guys are the pros....

Congratulations on the "new" vette. However you are in the wrong forum. You want the C3 forum. C4s run from 1984 to 1996.
Good luck.

Sorry, I knew that. My wifi has been jumping all over the place today. I think in the forum tab it just bumped to c4.

I was looking in c3 and wondering why it was not showing up lol.

But nice to meet you.
