New C6 owner from San Antonio!
I'm a newbie again! I recently picked up a 1982 and a 2009 C6. I simply love how these cars handle. My plan is to drive the 2009 and restore the 82. I've been lurking on a few different forums and seem to always come back to this one!

Thanks for the welcome! I spent a lot of time in the past jumping from forum to forum with my other rides. I'm happy I found the best Corvette forum so I can find all I need on one.

Thanks again! My 09 is my daily driver for now. The C3 needs more work before I drive it too much! Little by little, I will get it to where I want it.

I am restoring my '72 currently. I wouldn't mind having a C6. I have had C1-C5, but miss everyone I sold.

I would have loved to find a '72! I am having a blast with my C6 but cannot wait to get the '82 a bit more reliable so I can alternate!

I know what you mean, I can't wait to get the '72 finished.

Thank you! I am finally start to get into the engine on the '82. For a rebuilt motor, they sure used a lot of old parts. All the hoses look 30 years old and I found out they didn't even install a thermostat.
Day by day, I will get this thing running right.
