Hello!
Hi, My name is Gidian, I'm typically post shy so this may not be a long post, but on the other hand... I live in Vancouver, WA just across the Columbia from Portland, OR. I am a Radiologic Technologist and have 3 kids (22, 18 and 16). Only the 16 year old still lives at home. My wife and I also have 5 dogs, or as I like to say I have 5 she has 6.
As for my car, I had a '74 coupe in the 90's but had kids and am just about to become an empty nester so am looking to pick up a new Corvette. Realistically I'm still a few years away, but I always like to do my homework diligently, and in this case that means reacquainting myself with the corvette. I know I'll end up getting a project car, maybe not a full on restoration project... but I know I won't be able to afford a NRCS '67 or '68. I'm trying to keep my sights in a reasonable place with something in the '72-'74 range and therefor am looking up all of the resources that will help me with narrowing the choice down, as well as perhaps helping me find corvettes that are good values and from good homes/ sources.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the Forum, Gidian! 
This is a great place to get a head start on knowing what all to look for as you ultimately pick up your project car.
