I Finally Got One!
After all my years of building Chevy engines and cars, I finally bought a Corvette. It needs a bit of work to make it safe to drive, but that's what I do. To top it all off, it's almost all original, (except the valve covers and front/rear fiberglass conversion) numbers matching, red, 4 speed car that I found out is now kind of rare for a 1976 model. It still has the original AM/FM radio! I intend to keep it as original as possible, to respectfully honor its heritage. I hope to learn more about the C3 while sharing my knowledge when needed as I have on other Chevrolet enthusiast forums.
