Default First Time Vette Owner

I'm super excited as an old dude to get my first classic vette, 1977. My dream is to own a 63 split window one day but that dream will probably go with me to the grave, $$$$!

Welcome and start living your dream, we all had that dream of owning C2, they're so cool, but stick with my present Corvette.

When I was younger I had no use for the C3s after 74. Now? I'm glad they're out there. Thinking of getting one before they get too $$$$.

Welcome to the Forum. I never thought I would be one to welcome anyone, anywhere!
