Hello from WA State!
Howdy, all.
New Corvette owner here. I have always loved the C3 Vette. My mom dated a guy that had one, a couple of the cooler dads back in the 70's and 80's had one (along with 20 year old girlfriends, cocaine habits and a sweet, sweet moustache...).
I always thought about getting one, but it just never worked out.
I found a project car on Facebook Marketplace that was only a few minute drive and at a price I couldn't pass up.
So, I am bringing home a 77 L82. Blue on blue T-top car. Engine is blown up, but it came with a running 4 bolt 350.
She needs carpet and a couple of interior pieces, but all in all is in nice shape.
Just thought I would introduce myself and see if there were any big things to address while I am working on her?
Thanks in advance!
John
