Hi All! Thought I'd introduce myself quickly before posting a question.
To be honest, I'm more of an Italian car enthusiast, but there's one American muscle car that I've always admired, and that's a C3 Corvette. From a very young age, growing up in Europe, I thought the lines of this vehicle were so damn sexy. We saw it's baby brother, the Opel GT, way more often on the other side of the ocean. I moved stateside quite a few years ago, and bought some Italian cars since...the thought of getting a C3 disappeared for a while....but then I discovered one of my neighbors has one sitting under a cover in a carport at the back of his house....he never uses it, it's been sitting for years. He said he'd get it back on the road some day. It's white, a color I don't like anyway, so I never gave it another thought....until yesterday, when I was talking to my neighbor..... I guess I'll continue in a post dedicated to the subject

Offer your neighbor your time and effort to help get it on the road. You will make a good Corvette friend and learn a lot in the process. It sounds like an opportunity to me.
