My First Corvette
Sort of an impulse buy at a classic car auction in Mesa AZ on March 31. Said to be a 1 owner, all original, AZ car with 64K miles. VIN check seems to bear it out. Needs some work, the usual headlight door, electric seats and mirrors, radio (original), electric antenna, gauges. No apparent power train issues. Hoping to learn a lot from the veterans.
