New to the forums
Hey guys, just joined and wanted to introduce myself and my corvette.
Its a 1970 Stingray manual 454 convertible. It was originally purchased new by my grandparents. My grandmother tracked the car for many years and i believe was the #1 slalom women's driver for 2 years in her class. It was then purchased by my uncle who owned it for a while then was later purchased by my parents. When we got the car we brought it to a local corvette restoration specialist and he did a good amount of work on it. Since my parents have no idea how to work on cars, I get the honor of turning a wrench on this beast when it needs it.
