New Vette owner!!!
Just got this '70 convertible, it's a dream come true. The car overall looks pretty good but like any vintage vehicle, will need a little work and I'll be asking the experts some questions.
Not afraid to get my hands dirty, that would be nothin new, as my old hobby was restoring vintage Japanese motorcycles [Primarily Kawasaki and Hondas, I have a small collection]
But I've always wanted a vintage Corvette!!!! I'm located in Central Texas, hoping to hook up with some of you Texas Boys.
