Hello everyone. I have been reading posts here for quite some time, and bought my first vette in October of last year. My dad had always wanted one and so had I so I bought a C3 and offered to give it to him because he never had the money, but he said I should enjoy it and he would enjoy it with me. I couldn't be happier.

It is a 78 black with mahogany interior, and has 75,000 miles on it. I am 34 years old but picked the C3 because I absolutely love the lines and am an old school kind of guy. It has been fun doing little projects on it and have replaced miscellaneous needed parts. (master cylinder, distributor, front suspension, etc).

I have appreciated all the information I have gained from experienced folks on this forum and am sure I will be asking questions as I move forward and learn more about the car. Thanks.
