Looking for First Vette
Well i am looking at 2 corvettes right now. one is a 68 convertible with soft and hard top, blue with black interior, 4 speed, has a 350 crate motor in it now but the original 327 comes with it. Asking $22500, I hope to get him closer to $19 - $20K. The other is a 71 LT1 with M22 rock crusher 4 speed, blue on blue, asking $29500 and try to get him down to $25 - 27K but it is still a bit steep for my budget.
This will be my first corvette and have dreamed of owning a 68 - 72 vette since i was a kid (i'm 56 now). I am in the process of selling my '49 Hotrod chevy truck my dad and built and will be using that cash to buy the corvette. I test drove a 71 350 automatic the other day and was the first time i got to drive one let alone ride in one.
So, wadda ya think?

You will get more responses in the C3 section and I see you have already posted there. Good for you and welcome aboard. BTW, 68-72 are very good years. Good luck
