noob looking to learn
Hey guys,
Just bought my first Corvette a few weeks ago. She's a red 86 convertible with just over 27,000 miles. Bought her from a guy up the street from me who was the original owner (still has the window stickers). The car doesn't start but I bought it as a project and look forward to working on it and learning as much as possible along the way..so thanks in advance for answering all the questions I'm going to be having down the road!
