Hello from western WA
Hi All,
My wife and I are fairly new to Corvettes but have always admired them. We purchased a very low miles (<14k) '07 C6 a couple of years ago and then a very needy C3 ('68, and I am now wondering what I have done to myself) last spring. Other than daily drivers we have had a few mid-sixties A-body Pontiacs - a '65 GTO HT, a '66 Lemans convertible, a '66 Tempest HT, and my wife has her beloved '66 GTO convertible, recently restored, that was her Dad's.
I will have LOTS of questions about the '68, which we are returning to at least the appearance of stock, although there have been some changes made that I'm not inclined to reverse! See you on the tech side.
Thanks, Steve
