Default Hello Folks !!!!!!!!

Hello All. My name is Ben & I reside in Roseville CA nr Sacramento. I just received my 1971 C3 today from Ohio. (Bought it on Ebay). Bridgehampton Blue with Black interior, 350 Auto. Needs a little work but i got it at a great price. This Forum has been a great help recently as i searched for the right car & having never deal with corvettes (I owned 67-71 Mustangs) I had a lot of learning to do in regards to the history etc... So thanks to all that have helped & I know i'll be bugging you guys agaon as this car's headlights & wipers don't work!!

I'll post some pictures this weekend.

Love the Bumper cars!!! Nice purchase, I'm jealous. Hope to get into one of those myself in a few years after I save up enough cash.

Welcome to CF.
