My Introduction

I am a new member...as I have just became a proud Corvette owner. Really wish I hadn't this soon though. My father passed away in January, 2011 and left his 1974 Stingray to me. This car is beautiful and I will post pictures soon. My dad had dreamed of owning a Corvette since he was a teenager, and he was almost ready to install his custom-built engine when he suddenly became ill. His dearest friend is going to help me finish the car just as my dad had planned. I promised him I would fulfill his dream and I will treasure this car always.
