Default Intro
New member here from Texas. I’ve enjoyed my 69 Corvette since 2011. I’ve left it as I bought it so far but starting to look at making some changes.

Funny story behind the car. On my first date with my wife I asked her how she felt about muscle cars. She said she wasn’t into them but saw why guys enjoy them. I said there is surely some that you like. She said, “I like some of the old Stingrays.” “What is your favorite color on an old Stingray?”I asked. She replied, “blue.”

I pulled out my phone and showed here this picture. The car is in its forever home.
