Hello. New to group. Have a 1972 corvette convertible. I just bought it a few months ago but have not driven it since brought it home because previous owner did not mention ever fluid was leaking and it did not smoke because it did not have any water in the radiator. Ugh. Anyway, at least it will give me something to do this summer. I also have a Harley-Davidson but with back issues I was thinking car would be easier on back plus I always wanted a C3 corvette and with retirement coming up in a few months the time was now.
