New Corvette Owner From Texas
Howdy, Y'all,
My name is Joe and I recently purchased my third Corvette but it's been forty years since my last one. This one is a numbers matching white/light saddle '70 coupe with the 350/350, a four-speed and air. I'd forgotten how much fun they are to drive and I'm loving every minute I spend behind the wheel. I believe that joining this forum will help me get the info need to return my C3 to a great daily driver.

Welcome Joe!
I am glad to hear that another C3 owner joined the CF. Even more so, a fellow East Texan. I am from Tyler. Two weeks I ago I flew up to Mineola Wood County Airport KJDD (I am a pilot) and went and ate at the Kitchen Hardware Store for breakfast. Anyways I own an orange '72 350/4 speed coupe.
Post some pictures when you can!

Thanks!
Thanks to all for the many welcomes. Sorry for the late reply but it's been a busy last several days. I located a C3 expert in Tyler and paid him a visit on Saturday. He will be doing some of the under car maintenance (pinion seal, clutch) in the not too distant future. I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how (posting from my phone at present). Thanks again and Y'all have a great week!

Next time you are in Mineola I recommend trying out East Texas Burgers if you've never been there.
