Greetings from New Zealand
Hello team
I'm Matt, and I have a Corvette addiction, well not an addiction as I have only owned 3 in total, C3 74 350 auto, C4 91 ZR1, and now a 82 C3 CE that has not been looked after to well and that lets me to why I am here, since it is not standard i'll give me chance to either restore, or resto-mod it... I am leaning towards resto-mod because I love stroker SBC's and never had chance to when I had the 74. Anywho I have a love towards 2 cars in my life being the 240z and fairladys, the other is the Corvettes... My dad owned a 58' C1 and a 63 Impala.... but I had posters of C2's ,C3's, and in my early teens C4's, and of course the nissan Z cars. C3 was the one that I knew I had to own and since I loved the shape of the 1982 but not the power plant or transmission I got offered the 82 the ZR1 had to go..
all in all glad to meet you all
cheers
Matthew
