New VA C3 Owner
Good morning!
As long as everything shakes out okay I just became the proud owner of a 1975 Stingray Coupe! She's a bit busted up, but she's mine, and I intend to fix that. She was originally black but was repainted a non-OEM Maroon color, bit leaky all around, but she can start and she can move a little.
I would say this is probably more of an impulse buy rather than a long-time enthusiast purchase, but I have always had a passion and desire to fix a vehicle up (starting with my first an '87 Firebird). Looking forward to asking you all plenty of questions and learning as much as I can on this journey!
