I just purchased my first Corvette, a long dream of mine. I am not familiar with Forums but thought now would be a good time to start. I have a 1970 convertible LS5 and am excited to get into the culture of classic Corvette ownership. I have used this to find out many things in my research of the purchase and all seemed eager to help. Thanks!
