New c2 and c3 owner
Hello everyone. I am the new owner of a pair of corvettes. A 1966 and 1973.
My Vietnam Navy Seal veteran buddy recently passed and the cars were passed on to me.
I'm a very experienced mechanically and build all kinds of motorcycles and cars.
These are the first two old school cars I've really ever owned though.
I'll be posting in the c2 thread about some brake issues I'm having with the 66.
