Greetings all
Just bought my first Corvette; '86 Coupe Silver/Grey, manual trans.
It was sitting out in front of the local Ford dealership where it had been traded in on a new F-150 Harley-Davidson edition. I got it for a price I was willing to pay and it is a manual trans car.
It needs a bit of TLC (what 30yo don't need a bit of love). Eckler's and Bair's are your friends.
I'm a 59yo career firefighter/medic with a small rural fire dept.
As a rabid MoPar fan, this is my first Chevrolet in many years. My other current rides are a black '04 Neon R/T and a '99 Wrangler.
