Default Welcome me!

Hello everyone, I own a 1955 Chevy 150 two door and a 1980 El Camino recently I've had this big urge to get a third car and have come to the conclusion a Corvette would be the perfect car, I have zero experience with Corvettes and thought this would be the perfect place to begin learning, I'm looking at 68 to 72 but open to other years, I need to learn what to be looking for such as typical rust areas, mechanical gremlins, etc. Thanks for any advice, Tony.
