New old Vette owner
Retired old fart with a new, 76 Corvette. I hail from wilds of the remote Pacific NW, 90 miles south of Seattle and 80 miles north of Portland, OR. Love cars but not mechanically inclined, so will have lots of questions. Previously owned a 55 Chev,, 68 Goat, and Austin Healey, before life happened and I became responsible. I answer to Tom, but have been called a lot of things, many not appropriate for this site. So now begins the delicate balancing act of making improvements to my Corvette and not pissing off the War Dept.
