Hello all vette addicts,
After a life of working 7/7, 70 hours a week average, I decided to spend some time for myself.
I recently bought a 1978 silver anniversary vette engine L82.
My intention is to remain the car as he left the factory in1978 and a off body restoration.
any help would be very useful.
thanks for the feedback in advance

Hi William,
It's feeling great.
I was born in 1964 and my father owned a body shop.
At the age of 14 I saw a corvette rolling into the shop to repaint, I was so impressed as a child!
T'hats the reason my vette is from 1978.

WindyG,
That's awesome! And what a wonderful backstory to accompany your validation of ownership. I know you will enjoy it for a very long time.
