Hello from Ohio
I am a first time Corvette owner at age 61. I just picked up a 75 which was the year I graduated from high school. Nice yellow color with a black center hood detail. It has a 69 350/300 hp engine installed. I have some minor repairs to make but it is pretty comfortable and very able to drive. I have been reading thru alot of the threads here to start soaking up information.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome wishes. I'm certainly not a wrench head so Ill most likely be asking a lot of questions. The car seems to run pretty well, I need to work the A/C, Tach, and the weather strip around the doors. I have a radio but egads its pretty bad. My wife is thinking to get a new "retro" type radio so it looks original but has all the new bells and whistles.
See you in the forum!
