Default New guy from Chicago

Hey everyone,

My name is John and I'm in the market for a C3. I have a few years in mind (76-81) to be exact. I've been reading up on these Corvettes and love everything about them. Since I don't have a Corvette, I will be reading posts and learning from all of you. Any input or opinions are welcomed! Thanks fellas,

John Z
