Hi Forumites
New member from Down Under here, hoping to learn about my recently purchased '69 C3 Convertible.
Don't know it's history, other than it was imported into Australia in Feb 2008 and has been mostly restored from the bottom up.
My job is to finish the bits and pieces that still need attention, while we enjoy Sunday cruises as much as we can.
I'm not new to custom and classic cars, but this is my first "Vette.
Here's some pics of Astro.
This is "Astro"
Mixed Identity Crisis?
First show, first trophy.
