Bucket List: CHECK!
Greetings. I have been restoring cars for 40 years. This is my first Corvette. 74 coupe, L82, 4 spd, numbers matching, 58,000 documented miles. Bone stock and unmolested. I am the second owner. I searched for a while, discussed many, drove a few - before I found this ‘diamond in the rough’ in my price range. It needs a lot; but I am excited to take it on and excited to embrace this forum. Looking forward to working with: and learning from, many of you!

Nice Ride, great find... not everyone can just go out and buy a sports car.. setting a price range to stay within shows great wisdom. Good luck on getting it where you want
