G'Day from Oz
Hi All,
I'm a first-time 'vette owner after purchasing a beautiful 61 a month ago. This forum has been invaluable while I've been tidying up a few little things - so thank you to all those who've answered questions others have answered before me! My 61 is a relatively unmolested example that Ive been able to trace back almost every owner (and spoken to most of them). Originally sold by Washburn Chevrolet in Santa Barbara, the car was imported to Australia in 1999, and has been here ever since.
Looking forward to continuing to learn the finer details of owning and maintaining a motoring legend.
