Hello From So. Calif
Hello Forum members. My name is John Young and I curreently live and have lived for the past 30 years in Southern California. I'm originally from Denver CO which is where I bought my 67 BB Elkhart Blue 4 sp. convertible 36 years ago when I came back from the Army. Over the years, I have tried to keep it mostly stock except for the motor.
A couple of weeks ago I was returning from a car show and my flex fan came apart and totally destroyed my shroud along with my aluminum radiator which is what motivated me to join this forum. This and the fact that it appears that there are some very knowledgable Corvette enthusiasts on this site.
I also own a 66 Chevelle SS that I've had for about 7 years which is what I'll be driving until I can get the parts to repair my Vette. Life is good. I guess it could be worse and I could be driving a Rambler as a replacement.
Anyway, I can't figure out how to put pictures of my Vette on this forum, but you can see my car at this link:
http://www.corvettemagazine.com/comp...egory/catid,3/
My car is the 3rd, 4th, and 5th from the end.
I'm looking forward to corresponding with some of you in the future. Best regards to all. John Young, Upland, CA
