Hello from AL
Hello from AL. My first Corvette has arrived, 72 C3 w/454! In fact, this is my first car every that is not the A-B car for the family; most impractical decision I have likely every made without a doubt. Typically, my wife has the newest vehicle and I drive the hand me down. Figured after reading on the forum for a while now it is time to pony up and become a member. While I am super excited, I am already having to address issues that was hoping would have been squared away prior deliver. None the less, do know I did not buy a new car so this is to be expected. Just wanted to reach out and say hello, and say thanks in advance for the future advice.
