Hey whats going on?
Just thought I'd take a few moments to introduce myself. My names Tony and I'm from Ohio. I have a 1958 corvette. The car came straight out of the barn. It hasn't had tags on it since 1989, but the guy got it out once a year to change the oil and let her run a while. He was the original owner and you would never guess that he had a car like that hidden away in the barn. I wouldn't have known if he wouldn't have said something about it. Anyway all I had to do was change the master cylinder out and I drove her home. She runs great!! Its has the single 4 barrel with the 3 speed, 96000mi and its all original. It does have a few electrical problems, needs carpet and new seat foam and covers (the mice just loved the seats), a fresh set of tires and a few other small things to make it road worthy. I want to enjoy it for awhile before I do a restoration. (that and we just had our first little girl) Well I'm glad that I found the forum and I hope to get to know some of you better. Tony

Hey sorry I disappeared its been crazy. I have a few pics for you.
Here is the first pics I took of it after all the dust was washed off.
Here it is at home with the top off.
I'll have to see what I did with the pics that I had from when I first saw it in the barn. I know I have them somewhere if you guys are interested.
