Default New C3 L71 owner

Hello every one,

I'm thrilled to join the community. I completed a long standing dream (since the 80's) and my Vette did arrive in October last year. this is a 69 427 - 435. so far fully matching number though I had to remove couple of wires plus some (fine) tuning to have it works as day 1.
btw, I'm french....huge Corvette community here as well but being in touch with mother land of my car is even better.

looking forward our futur discussion.
