Hello from Michigan
Hi,
I just bought my first Corvette. I've been wanting one for years, but a deal just never came along. I found an entry level 1963 Roadster that has sat in the same spot for 40 years. The owner passed 8 years ago. The family member in custody of it just decided to let it go after me letting her know i wanted it off an on for the last couple years. The previous owner is in the Michigan Motorsports hall of fame and ran a successful race engine shop for decades. I don't have a lot of pics yet, as it's still is in the shop where its been stored due to the unpaved/muddy driveway needed to get it out.
