Default The BIG 5-0

Hello, I am a new member, after just purchasing my 1964 Corvette Stingray! I had several corvettes before (2004, 2009), but this one is super special. I bought this as a present for myself in celebration of my 50th birthday!!

I did as much research as possible, but still have many questions about what I have. Mostly regarding the engine, so I have to find out where to post my questions. I hope to find some answers on here, and look forward to learning much from such knowledgeable people!!

Thanks!

Kim
