Default Hello Vette fandom...
First time Vette owner...
It wasn't planned and it happened quick. Hmmmm, not the way I usually do things in my life.

It's a 1979 numbers matching Coupe with a manual 4 gear and a motor update to L82 specs. Oh ya, PO painted it Candy Apple Red
(another thing I wouldn't have done but, it looks good )

Welcome Woobs! Corvettes by their nature cause us to be impulsive. That's a good thing and why we love them.. Good looking car. Like the color, particulalrly with the light interior.
