Hi Everybody!
Good Morning all!
I just wanted to say hello. Not a Corvette owner yet but looking to purchase one (hopefully sooner rather than later), and wanted to do as much background research & get as much advice as I can. I do know my way around automobiles, I come from a family of mechanics, do all my own maintenance and restoration work (except paint). Looking to purchase a 68-72 chrome bumper C3. Not looking for a show car, just a driver quality or something that I can restore to look nice, but not too nice. I live in the great state of NJ and believe me, other than being a toxic waste dump, we are known for our lousy drivers.
Thank you!
