Hi.
Im brenden. Im looking at owning a c3 corvette(probably 1980) and i thought id get researching the forums to see whats out there...info-wise and parts-wise. Im not familiar at all with muscle cars...i drive a ford focus, so this is a learning expedition. Anyway, I found a 80 vette with 31k miles and a completely redone engine for 3,000, so i might take it and start learning. needs some body panel replacement(mostly whole front clip, but the engine is sound and newly built.
Anyways, see you around.
