Bucket List
Brought home my first ever Corvette on Oct. 2nd.2020. A 1979 L82 C-3 with 53,000 documented original kilometers. It is a one owner well maintained beauty. The mileage will tell you that I'm from Canada. New Brunswick more specifically. This car is a bucket list vehicle as I rolled into my seventh decade 2 months ago. Car always stored November through May. Its new home is in a heated garage for the winter beginning in a couple of weeks. I'm in the process of building a set of 16" x 11 foot ramps to put her up on so I can get underneath her. Ramps are made from 2" x 12" spruce planks with 13" risers. I am fastening 16" OSB on the sides with glue and screws for extra strength and safety. These are still a work in progress.
I love the looks of this classic model and have spent many hours looking for a low mileage one owner corvette. I am just new to this form and will post a picture at a later date as I figure out how to do so. Just thought I would introduce myself and my car.
Thanks to the forum for adding me on.

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your nice C3!
Thanks to COB for helping you with posting a pic of your new ride.
Hopefully you have some other bucket list items you can use your C3 to fulfill.
