Finally got my Vette
Hello from Charlotte N.C. I just purchased my first Corvette today. Its a 1972 convertible mille miglia red ,black vinyl. Numbers matching true survivor! I feel like a two year old with a new toy!(at 43 yrs old) I dont know how to post a picture, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. I pick her up on Monday. Bought it from a 67 yr old who just didnt have the time anymore... his loss my gain. I practically stole this car what a deal! Anyway I just had to spread my news, I look forward to lots of advice from you veterans.
PS I figured out the avatar pic so there she is
