New Owner. Central Illinois
Hello all. I’ve been reading on these forums for the last couple months and they have been a huge help! I recently acquired an 85 from my father who had owned it for the last few years. When he got it, it had been sitting for the last ~twenty years or so. He redid the interior but the mechanical side of things has needed some work. I’m in the middle of replacing the valve cover gaskets, along with the distributor cap, rotor, coil, and plug wires. Anyway I just wanted to say Hello. I’m sure I will posting for some help here in the future and hopefully I can help other people. I’m pretty new to corvettes but I am loving already!

Welcome to the Forum. I live down in Southern Illinois and have a 1984 that I completely restored. Great luck with your 1985.
