Default Learning for first purchase

Hello all,

I live in Northeast Ohio and plan to acquire a 68-72 t-top or convertible in about 2-3 years.

Although new to corvettes, I'm not new to forums so I know that a few years learning here from all of you will allow me to make a much more intelligent purchase when I'm ready. All my recent googling on the subject brought me here anyway!

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Hey Scott, best of luck with doing your homework. The CF is a great "study hall" and plenty of resources here.


I have a '72, so I am pleased to hear that you are considering a chrome bumper C3, but especially a 1972.

Thanks Brandon. Love that orange color on your 72.
