Greetings from the Great NorthWet
Hi all. Ed from Snohomish County, Washington here!
Looking for a nice '69-'72, and wanted to get some experienced opinions...
Had a '68 when I was in college. Now I'm looking for a nice blue coupe. Small block, A/C & automatic
I'm ancient car guy; got my first car when I was three. 1940 Pontiac my grandmother left me. Restored and sold it when I was 16 to buy a Mustang GT/CS
When I was 14, I bought a 1952 MG TD, which I still have.
Have had a nice variety of cars over the years, here's a sampling of a few that stand out:
2018 Highlander
2017 Mustang GT 5.0
2006 Silverado 2500HD 4X4
1973 M-B 450SL
1969 Beach Racing Cars, Mk5-C Formula V
Boston Whaler Super Sport Limited
Couple of off road bikes, golf cart, etc...
And the 1952 MG TD I've owned since 1972...

Welcome and I'd suggest you post up any questions you may have on the C3's in that section of the forum. And good luck finding the right car for you.

Welcome Ed. This forum has a world of information if you have the patience to crawl through the back posts. Also the members herein may just have the car you are looking for. Consider joining a Corvette club up here in the NW once you find your ride. ER.

Welcome to the forum, Ed, and best wishes with your search for your next C3! 
Quite a varied collection of vehicles you have owned.
Good advice from Eric that may hopefully help you with your search.
