Default Newb from down under

Hi all, recently imported one of my childhood dreams, 1970 stingray coupe,car was owned by the original owner till a few years ago when he passed away, he did manage to replace the original 454 with a crate LS6, rebuilt TH400, rear end, all suspension and brakes,paint is Cortez Silver (ok condition but not great), black interior w/leather seats, this guy lived in Huntington Beach CA and car still has blue and yellow license plates, unfortunately some moron has souveniered the build sheet and docs for new motor before it got to me.
I have to admit to being addicted to BB GM machines as i olso have a `64 Cadillac Fleetwood series 60 (41,000 original miles)
`67 Camaro SS 396, 4 speed, Tuxedo black, red interior
`98 Siverado stepside pickup, vortec 454, 4L80E (my daily driver)
I have no intenson of getting councelling for my addiction, just love it
cheers from Australia, Shane

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! I'm envious of your stable, especially the '64 Cad, one of my favorite old cars! Congratulations on your C3!! Do you have to convert that car to right hand drive? The folks in the C3 Forums will give you any help you need. Good luck, enjoy the Corvette and the Forums.


Just a suggestion, you should fill in your profile so folks will know where you are. It can make a difference when giving advice or answering your questions.

Cheers for that, we dont have to convert anything pre 1989, so only my pick up is RHD, the others are all left hook which make them far more cool i think
The 64 Cad is just simply awesome, i will get my son to sort out my profile and post some pics, (buggered if i know how to do that stuff)

Here's the tutorial on posting pics using photobucket. I think photobucket works for you there. If not, then whatever internet picture hosting site you have should work.
