Hello
I am Larrydale and have never used any forum so bare with me.
I have a '61 red with white cove I love and now want to increase those old high school dreams with finding a 65-67 coupe. Lot's of websites and some I don't feel good about and some ads so old it's embarrassing bothering the sellers.
Any advice on sites to avoid or directions to find a '65-67 coupe would be appreciated. Looks like there is a lot to learn about this cool forum.
Thanks

Thank you. Looks like lots of people are looking for the same years on the forum. You think members reply to the WTB posts versus listing their cars?

There are a lot of websites and I checked them all out only for prices. After 3 years of looking I found my '66 on a very small website for corvettes sold in Oh & Pa. I bought from a private seller which I feel is the best way to go. Be patient. These cars are 50 years old and many have issues. Sellers use miss leading terms to boot. Do your home work and if needed hire an expert to do an inspection. I did, good luck.

PS. You will learn a lot by following the threads in the C1 & C2 section.

Thank you...but being patient is not one of my strongest traits.. Yes I am learning a lot already being a forum member. Appreciate your post
