Hi all. New member here. I've been reading some of the info, checklists, and past threads, and it looks like a great forum.

I owned a yellow 1977 Vette for 21 years. Got it with 20K miles on it, sold it with 44K for the exact same price I paid for it. Didn't have to do much to it other than tires, brakes, battery, etc.

I sold it in 2005 to get a newer Harley, but now am having lots of back problems and am considering selling the bike and going for another Vette. I had considered the Mercedes 450SL, but something about the Vette keeps calling me back. The C4 style seems to peak my interest at this point.

I may have already found one that I'm interested in, and am going to post a few questions in the C4 section. Please look for me there.
