Good Morning from sunny southern Calif.
After 50 years of drooling, I'm finally going to own a Corvette! Now it's just a matter of finding that special one. I have narrowed it down to the following, a 1973 coupe, 350 engine and automatic. Now I know that this particular combination may not be the most desirable, but there were a lot of factors to consider and based on these factors, this is what I'm looking for.
At this point, I have a lot of questions, but I figured that I would let some of the experts out there give me a jump-start first, before I make a pest of myself.
I have restored several classics in the past 4 decades and my current ride is a 1965 Buick Riviera. Hate to see it go, but I have to realize my dream of cruising down the PCH in a (MY) classic Corvette.
Any advice is good advice and greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all ..... Steve Boivin
