Hello

Hey everyone!! I am a new member from Kentucky. I have not have the honor of owning a Corvette yet...but am planning on purchasing one. I have loved the Corvette since I was a youngster. I'm not sure exactly which style I will purchase. I am leaning to the '66 (my birth year) or an early C3. The '66 is a little out of my price range though. I would have to save for quite a while to be able to afford one. Would LOVE to have a big block in whatever I purchase. If anyone has any recommendations, please do not hesitate to share. I am open. Glad to be here!!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the hospitality.

Any recommendations on a certain model/year/engine? I do love the C3....but I also love the C2. Any in that range that have advantages over another? I know that it's mostly personal preference...and in the end, that's what it will come down to (well, that and MONEY)...but if there is anything that I can use to help make my decision I would be very appreciative.

Thanks again for the welcome!!
