Well I've wanted one all of my life and since I'm certainly not getting any younger I bit the bullet.
I purchased a 1980 Corvette with the L82, black paint with the doeskin color interior. It had 42,800 miles on it when I bought it a couple of months ago. All is orginal. Even all the little stuff like belts, hoses, plugs and wires.
I'm changing all including all fluids. I'm going to get all of the rubber bushings changed front and rear suspension along with the shocks. I probably will go with Rubber instead of Poly from what I been reading about the Poly squeaking. I'm learning as I go, because I know nothing.
So HI to all, and any suggestions would be a great help.
LATOR GATOR, Glenn
