Old Guy, First Vette
As a working teen, I had a 1966 GTO and a 1968 SS396; then marriage and kids came along. After retiring several years ago my car urge began to itch, so I just purchased a 50k miles one owner 1996 coupe. My mechanic buddy will do a full servicing, water pump, and electric blower motor which is all he found wrong so far. Oh yea will need a targa top too, but the low purchase price left plenty of room for that. The exterior is a bit grungy and will require a bit of my time, which is something I enjoy. Looking forward to leaning a lot from you guys.
