Hi from MA

At 60 yrs old I just bought my first vette. The kids have graduated from school so I don't have sports to go to any more and found myself with some free time on my hands. It was either this or get to know my wife again (just kidding).

I bought a 1981 c3 that is totally stock with just over 76k mi on it. I haven't decided if I want to do a full restoration or not. Right now it is a good looking and running daily driver, but it is all original with matching numbers so a restoration is tempting. The previous owner kept all the bolt on parts that have been replaced like starter and radiator in case someone wanted to restore it.

I'll be adding pix to my profile as soon as we get some decent weather here. See you around.
