Hello from Clover, SC!
hello fellow Vette folks!
I've had my 1982 silver w/grey interior Vette since 1993, when it had 69,000 miles on it. My wife let me buy it as a graduation present to myself at age 32 (did my Air Force service first!)
It's been a great car and now has 105,000 miles on it and has faded over the years. Now I'm starting my restoration.
Will keep it all original, but hopefully better when Im done with it.
Already cleaned out a mouse's nest
in the wiper valley.
I have an electrical glitch with the radio circuit. When the battery is out and I check continuity across the battery leads, I get it. When I pull the radio fuse, the circuit breaks, so I got a dead short to ground somewhere. On goes the journey. I surely do love my C3!
I'll post some pics soon, but just wanted to say hey and hope we can be friends
