New Vette Owner

Hi everyone, my fiance Allison has always wanted a C3, its her all time dream car. We found one in pretty good shape for an excellent price. The paint needs a little work, it'll get some new paint eventually.

1980, 350, 4 Speed manual, t tops, new brake system, new interior, rebuilt motor, newer tires, newer clutch, runs great, lays 2 nice black marks, so I assume it has a posi rear end too.

and here is the whole fleet

is it bad that the least powerful vehicle is the corvette?

Welcome to the forum! The good news is that the "vette is very receptive to mods! Nice looking C3 - looks to be in fairly good shape.

Welcome to the Forum and my congratulations to Allison

Corvettes don't have to be the fastest cars, they are just the best cars.

Enjoy the whole fleet, they are all good in their way.

thanks everyone, so far we haven't had a chance to drive it much due to the rain, but when we did, it was definitely a blast. We are looking forward to all the funs time we're gonna have with it.

We already ordered an entire stereo system for it, and a few replacement parts that it needs right away, should be fun.
