Hi All,
Just purchased my first Corvette at the Palm Springs McCormick Auction, weekend before Thanksgiving. It's an Ontario Orange 1972 LT1 Coupe. Lots of options (Custom Interior, PW, PS, PB, Air Conditioning, Tilt-Tele Steering). Drove it back to Redondo Beach, got lots of thumbs up from other drivers. Went to Caffeine Cruisers Sat. morning in Torrance, great group and much interest in the car. Looking forward to a great relationship with this car. I'll be at the Car's & Coffee this Saturday morning in Palos Verdes (Silver Spur & Hawthorne Blvd.) 8 to 9 AM. Over a 100 cars show up.

Seat belt challenge
Thanks, still trying to figure out how to connect the separate shoulder belt through the seat and lap belt together, been using just the seat/lap belt only. Owner gave me the original manual, might help if I read it.

My new C3
Thanks for the welcome. I have loved Corvettes since my cousin showed up at my door step with his brand new 1968 Corvette Conv. 327/350 HP. I was 13 years old and thought it was the greatest thing on wheels, nothing else even came close in 1968. It only took me 46 years to get my own C3.
