New here and first Corvette
I am the happy new owner of an 80 Corvette. My first Corvette well other than a C4 shell that I bought for the suspension. I am doing a C4 conversion on a 57 Chevy.
One thing I have noticed is the search function on the site doesn't seem to work very well. I seem to have better luck using Google. Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe it is because I am a basic member.

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C3 
The search is better now than it use to be. The best way I found to use it, go to the header bar and click on search then advanced search. I used it yesterday and found a answer much faster and easier than in the past. Good luck

Honestly that is what the guy told me when I bought it. I got an unheard of deal on this car.

I have not driven it yet because it has been stored for the last 20 years and the brakes go to the floor. I will be start out by bleeding them and go from there. The car has 77,000 original miles and is the rare L82 4 speed manual transmission. Honestly that is what the guy told me when I bought it. I got an unheard of deal on this car.
