Greetings all. I've never felt enthusiastic about anything before acquiring my Corvette enough to post to a thread, so this is the maiden voyage for me. I hope I'm getting it right. I just got my first Corvette (I've been a 55-57 TBird lover among other things since about 1977). It's a '61 that's a no-hit matching numbers car that's clean and tidy (red on red) and has been owned for the last 25 years by a very nice well-to-do retired hop farmer about 45 minutes from where I live. 230hp with a powerglide. I haven't verified anything but the engine yet, but the word is that all of the parts are original to the car. I was underneath it while it was on a lift a few years back and I couldn't believe how clean and untouched it looked. I finally saved enough cash to go back and bang on his door. Thankfully he still had it and we made a deal (his deal). It's been snowing non-stop here for a couple of weeks, so I wasn't able to drive it home, and I've been feeling like a kid with a nickel on the wrong side of a closed candy shop. Corvettes are in their family, and I'm eye-balling the '59 that's owned by on of his sons. His other son has a '67 Camaro RS SS 350 4 sp that's crazy original down to the paint that they found in San Diego. Back to mine... it's missing a couple of correct parts... A hardtop, a correct radio and a washer bottle, so if there's anyone besides those who have already posted that can help me with those things, I'd appreciate that. Most all of the hardtops I've found on CF are back east. Thanks for having me. Can't wait to have my car in my shop and see what you guys know. ; )
