New Vette owner

Wanted to say Hello, I bought my 1st corvette, last week, I wasn't in the market for a vette but the condition of the car and the price was saying don't let this pass by. I am 64 and retired but still working. Driving this car brings me back to the days of the late 60s and my muscle cars I had owned,,,What a thrill!! Its a 1994 stock vette and has a number of needed maintenance items to make it well again.It came with a set of american racing 9.5" rims , the body is a 8.5 out of 10 and the interior is a 6.5 out of 10, it needs all u-joints axel and drive shaft replaced and rear hub bearings, and all weather stripping. It had been stored each season because there is very little rust under it. 107k on the mileage. I will store it in my garage for the winter. Thank you for this forum of information.
