New Guy from Pa.
Hi All. I`m a new member, but not new to the Corvette world.Bought my first new car ever in 2005, an 05 Vette.Also have a 65 Coupe, 81 T-Top in need of restoration, a Red 88 Conv. 400 Horse w/NOS. and a way cool 92 Chevy Pickup with big block and blower. I think I`ve always had at least one Vette since I was 20 years old. First Vette was a 435 HP. 67 conv. which I sold in the mid 70`s to buy a house.Yes, it`s enough to make you cry. Happy to be here, John P.

Hi New Guy..from another new guy
I have tales of woe on some of my past vehicle transactions also 
Sold a 63 327HiPo/4sp roadster with both tops in 71 for $1,100.00 Sold a 74 454/auto roadster in 79 for $4,000.00 I don't even want to talk about 55 & 57 Chevy Bel Airs - or 69 Road Runners - or Chargers - or Chevelles - or Novas - You get the point, and can feel the pain.
Anyhow, welcome to the forum and have fun. Come on Spring!

Originally from Farrell, Pa., 60 miles North of Pittsburgh. I sold a 66 roadster, 427 4 speed in 70. Traded for a family car, 66 Caprice and some cash. I know the pain. I have had a 78 4 speed, now sold, and currently have two 89's, one a coupe and one a convertible that I am restoring.

Hiya, Thanks for the welcome. Bucks County isn't too far from here. I go to quite a few car shows up that way. They have one in Neffsville each September that I really like.Forest Hill is just up the road from Bel Air, as I'm sure you know.
Again, thanks for the welcome - Happy motoring -
Come on Spring!

Hey, John -- I live very near Exton, and on really nice mornings I get on rt. 113 and go thru Trappe on my way to my office in Montgomeryville (by way of rt. 113 and rt. 73 thru Skippack) One of the "nicest" drives to work, when I'm in my car with the top-down.
I'm sure we'll see each other at local events this season. Would love to see some of your rides...since we live so close.
