Hello Everyone


My wife and I just purchased our first corvette. It is a frost blue 78 with 51000 miles. We bought it from my dad who didn't have the means to keep up with it. The previous owner was my dads friend who purchased the car in showroom condition and proceeded to leave the t-tops off and let his German Shepard live in it over the cold Minnesota winter, so when the opportunity presented itself I had to jump on it. There was no way I was going to let such a beautiful car go to junk. Anyways I'm glad to be here and hope that I can learn a lot and help wherever possible.

Thanks
Jeremy
