Default Hello From Iowa

Hello everyone, I'm John from Davenport Iowa. Got my first Corvette back in 74. A beautiful Blue1969 C3 Stingray. Had to part with it three years later because couldn't afford insurance any longer. ( back in those day's I like to collect speeding tickets) Now, with forced retirement due to five open heart operations, and finally heart transplant, children are grown giving me grandchildren, I decided to pull the trigger again on a Modified 1977 C3. Looking forward to learning, and hopefully being a good addition to this family!

Welcome to the forum, John, and congratulations on your modded C3!
You've definitely graduated from the school of hard knocks and well deserving of your Corvette!
Best wishes for many years of enjoyable driving!
