Big Red
Hello everyone, I was given a gift of a 1986 Red c4 Corvette by my wife. It has been a lifelong dream to own one and now it has happened. I look forward to discussing with you these beauties

welcome to the forum. I too had a 1986 Vette. Lost it to a accident. I miss it. I have a 1999 C5 Hardtop now. It's my baby. Hope you enjoy your gift. Sounds like a mighty fine wife you have there. Enjoy!

[QUOTE=ZR-71;1604221730]Welcome George and congrats on your Red ‘86 Corvette 
That Big Red you posted reminds me of the race horse Secretariat.[/QUOTE
Thank you Vetteman Jack, I am having a ball and of course as one of my friends said " When asked why I didn't bring her to coffee even though it is raining, he replied She doesn't run in the rain". Take care and have a ball.

Welcome to the Forum, George, and congratulations on your C4!
After 50 years, and with the gift of your ‘86, I would say your wife is a keeper.
And, welcome home! Appears we had some overlap of time in Viet Nam; I was there 68-70.
Thank you for your military service.
Enjoy your ride and save the wave.
