Bucket list Corvette
Hi folks,
I just purchased my first Corvette and joined this forum yesterday. The car is a 1996 Collector Edition coupe, Sebring Silver LT1. My car is basically stock with the exception of after-market wheels and exhaust.
I also have a 1934 Buick, Billetproof hot rod. Before retiring, I was a 25 year Porschephyle and loved driver's ed and autocross events, with the Porsche club, in my guards red coupe. Now that I'm retired, it was time to move on to the other cars in my bucket list.
This forum has already helped me to identify what appears to be a common problem with '96's...A/C only coming out of the defroster and lower vents. Now to find out which part is causing my problem!
Regards,
Paul

Thanks for all the "welcomes" and the invitation to "sweet silvers". I checked it out...nice! And, I posted a few more pictures from the dealers when I picked the car up and from the first afternoon at home. Exterior, wheels and tires look great after detailing, over the weekend. Now, I'm up to my arm pits today in the engine compartment detailing it and diagnosing the A/C problem. The small vacuum T over the passenger side fuel rail isn't melted, not lucky enough to have the $5 fix...Paul
