Default Hello all here on these forums.
Hello, I just got my dream car recently. It is a 1978 Cherry Red Vette and I love it! Any tips on how to care for my new ride would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Default Welcome to the forum and Congrats
The C3 forums will be glad to help U. But before U ask, do a search on specif topics. I'm sure U will find tons of discussions already documented. If U don't find, just post away at C3 General and/or Tech.
Help is just a click away.

To add my 2 cents...my preferance for oil would be Mobil-1 synthetic 5W30 although your manual may not mention synthetic. No Wally world filters. Premium filters only.
