I thought at one time I was a member, but could not log on, so here I am. My first name is Bentley. I have never owned a Vette. I own poor man's Vettes, which are 1969 Camaros. 3 to be exact. I have an affection for the big block Chevy. I am one of these types that I would describe as passionate, as well as, obsessive. I really like to learn and have my facts straight. So, getting down to the brass tacks and minutia would be me. Hello, my name is Bentley and I am a hoarder. Have found no support group for that! And yes, I like humor and sarcasm and occasionally it comes out in my posts. I belong to a couple of other forums, specifically, CRG (Camaro Research Group) where I have gotten to know a Corvette Guru, John Hinkley. I also frequent the Yenko Supercar or sYc for short and contribute. My reason for joining is to target a market for my Corvette parts as I am starting to thin the herd. I may have to ask for help IDing a part or rely on members to educate me on pricing an item or two. I , like many, would love to own a Corvette. A new Z06 or a C1, C2,. I really like the 56-7 body and the intrigue of mid 60s to 70 high horse models, small or big block. Any year that has a chrome bumper I like and the ones built in the last 5 years, it would be a toss up.
Briefly, I have owned 2 of my Camaros, both SS, since 79 when I graduated at 18 years old. I have had my beautiful wife for 35 years and she has blessed me with three fine children. We are now empty nesters residing on our 50 acre rolling "Gentelman's" farm about 40 miles South East of Cincinnati. In past lives I was a A.S.E. Master Tech, Mercedes Benz trained authorized Tech, BSA from Franklin U. and farmer, carpenter and many other hats. We are active in our church and work with under privileged youth.

Welcome to the forum.

Be aware there are some posted rules for selling cars and parts on the forum.

You might want to review the major one.

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...eir-parts.html

If you want to ask for suggested prices for your parts, please do not do that in the sales forum. Go to the general discussion forum for what ever car the parts are from and ask for their opinion. You MUST always post an asking price for your car or parts in your sales thread.

Thank you. Good advice. I am experienced in selling and have a great reputation. Most other forums require a price as well.
