Default 1st Vette,northcoast Ohio

After 30 years of Camaros and El Caminos my 1st Vette!A stone stock tan 77 L48. This was one low budget car new,other then the air and automatic trans the only option I see is the T top rack. It has the am/fm manual radio,manual windows and single rear view mirror.This is a one owner 14,000 mile car that was under coated at the GM dealer ship(rusty jones).This is a very clean original,other than tires and brakes it is untouched.
I have never left a car unmodified before but I really don't want to devalue a classic.I will have the winter to think it over and hopefully pick the minds of other Corvette owners here in this forum on the direction I should take on this car.
If it stops raining anytime before May I'll get some pics in.
Thanks Wayne
