Default Corvette newbie

Hi all:
I just bought my 1st Corvette and looking forward to enjoying the car and the forum. I've had supercharged challenger, 64 Maxwedge, 23 altered super gas, and others but never a vette. I bought a 82' crossfire, charcoal w/ gray leather, with every option except the CB and t-top rack. The charcoal makes it only 1 of 1,093 and it has 27,000 original miles, all numbers match, 100% original with the original Goodyear GTs. I have all the paperwork, build sheet, and dealer paperwork.
the only issue is the oil pressure gauge it stuck on 80 psi ignition on or off.
I'm looking forward to showing it, driving it and attending events.
Don
