Hello from Riverside, CA.
Hello Everybody. In the fall of 07 i visited my brother Ralph in VA, after my long plane trip and getting in around midnight, My brother picked me up in his 06 Corvette and drove to house at the end of a 2 mile curvy mountain road, at about 100mph! needless to say, i was giggleing hestericly, I Loved It!! 
(I made him do it a few more times before i left).
Since then i've been kinda looking, i really didn't have the money, till i was having lunch with a guy and he says "I have 1 i'll sell you, and i'll make you a deal". So Today i Purchased a 75 Corvette Stingray which has been in storage for the last 9 years. It runs good and is ready to run but does need some work due to the storage.
Now here's where i could really use some help in identifing some items.
i was told that because of some of the items installed on the car makes it a "Ekhart", "Echart" or "Elkhart" version.(I don't know the exact spelling) I've seen some that were colors of elkhart green, blue and yellow. But this car also has a wing on the back And under the front, not a dam but a wing, it also has 3 tubelike gauge pods coming out of the hood pointing towards the driver. it also has a outdoor temp gauge inside hanging from the t-top divider over your head. i've attached some pics of where i picked it up in storage, got it home to late tonight to take any more pics.
It took me over 24 hours to say hi because i couldn't stop looking at all the Beautiful Cars on this site. this place is Nice!
Here in town I'm known as "Gary the Computer Guy" I even have it on my van,
