Long time listener, first time caller.

Had a ‘76 decades ago and looking to get another Vette. Lurking around here for a while has provided tons of info.

Welcome, Also from DFW area. Good luck finding your C3. I was able to find a nice C2 in Dallas but it did take some time. You might consider joining one of the DFW Corvette clubs. It is a good way to find corvettes for sale that are not being listed.

Thanks y’all.

Not sure I want another C3. My mind has romanticized it, but when I do an age vs reality check (for my age and reality) I keep thinking about something newer.
