New to Forum: Just purchased a clapped out 1988 coupe
Howdy everyone,
I just purchased a 1988 Corvette project. The automatic transmission will be the first thing to address since the car won't move.
This is my third vette. I had a 72 Stingray back in the 90's after I got out of high school, but I traded it for a 69 GTO convertible years ago.
I've also currently have a 1990 Coupe for my teenage son to drive.
I'm looking forward to what I can learn here about coaxing motivation from these L98 engines.
