Me and the C3
Well new to owning a Vette, but I now have a
'72 LT1, Millie Miglia Red, black interior,T-Top, with 4 speed. It has been in storage for 23 years and just pulled it out of storage yesterday. Very emotional day for my family. Anyways hope to learn alot about the car and get a bit of help as I work on it.
Car is all original, and currently has heads off as the valves were "floated" and a few push rods and valves paid the price. Cant wait to hear this baby "lope" again.
Later, Jason

Wow!! Storage for 23 years! If I understand correctly it's been in your family for that long? Or since new? Best of luck and have fun with the restoration. You'll find lots of help here. Enjoy the Forums.
