Hey Guys,

I'm new to the forum. I have a 1970 Corvette 454 number matching in Daytona Yellow. My grandfather was the original owner and I've been taking care of her for the last 3 years.

Here's a couple photos of my car.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your sharp C3!
From the looks of it, I'm sure your grandfather is pleased with the care you are giving her!

Thanks! My grandfather definitely drove this. It used to be pretty heavily modded but it's mostly stock now except the flares and raised hood scoop. He still always talked about building it again.

I plan on just having fun with it and little updates to make it more driveable. Been contemplating EFI and electric headlights and wipers.
