First Time Corvette Owner C2

Hello all, just wanted to say hello. Long time reader of the these forums while researching and searching for my dream car. This is my first corvette but not my first classic. Before this I had a 63 Riviera. I live in the DFW area of Texas.

I wanted to say thank you as all the very useful threads helped me to ultimately decide on this specific C2. After several months of searching and 3 inspections later, I have found THE ONE! Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Here are pics of my "new to me" C2 Convertible. 327, 350HP L79

I just purchased this C2 out of Southern California and it should be on its way to me sometime next week. The suspense is killing me.
