Hi,

I am a new 1962 vette owner. I got it from my Uncle who has owned it since '71.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!

Congratulations on your C1!! It's great to keep an old Vette in family like that. Hope you're going to maintain and enjoy it stock (just my opinion not a judgement). Enjoy the car and the Forums.

Yup, the guys in the C1/C2 Forum will help you out, lots of restorers and old time mechanics in there. Be sure to have fun, that's the important part.

Whoa!!!!! That wasn't an original fuelie car was it? It's great that it has it either way but it would be worth a lot more if it's an original. Congratulations again. Enjoy the project and have fun with the car.
