2020 C3 of the Year Winner- Unmodified
Default Central Illinois

Hello All
Had a Corvette a long time ago with my c5. Owned it for a couple of years and then sold it.
I once again have joined the Corvette owners with a classic beast. I inked the deal with my 1969 Riverside Gold L-89
Im excited to cruise around this summer.
Unfortunately I won't take delivery until late spring due to prior commitments in Mexico.
I am interested in doing some car shows and driving around the midwest.
posting some photos from the dealership and more to follow once i get it to me.
Is there a specific calendar for events in the area?Springfield/decatur/peoria.......and beyond

Central Illinois Cars and Coffee has gotten pretty huge in Peoria. I don't live in the area anymore, but I definitely recommend checking it out. They have a Facebook page which is the easiest way to learn more about it.
