New guy from MD!
Hi everyone, my name's Chris, and I am a proud owner of a 1973 350 Stingray Vette. I bought it from my Dad's Navy buddy (who is a member here as well as owner of a 69 427 Stingray).
I got into Corvette's mostly through my Dad's said Navy buddy, and I just fell head over heels for these gorgeous cars. What makes me love them even more is that they're American made
, and an average Joe who saves his money can get himself one of these beauties with a bit of determination.
Coincidentally, I myself am serving in the Navy, and proud of it! The Navy equipped me with the loan check that allowed me to buy my Vette, and I couldn't be happier (unless I got my hands on a '63 Coupe with the split window lol).
I'll put pictures as soon as I can, and I'm glad to be aboard!
-Chris
