Hi Everybody
I just purchased a 1981 Corvette. I'll be traveling to Toledo from Southwest Missouri this Friday to pick it up and driving 14 hours back home. Should have a list of things I need to do to the car and a zillion questions by the time I get home Saturday. I promise to use the search feature first before asking too many questions. My wife had a 69 4-speed convertible when I met her but starting a family caused us to sell the car shortly after we got married. I'm excited to get back into the C3 family after 25 years.

775 miles later, I got her home and spent the day cleaning and polishing. The choke light came on about 3 hours into the trip and went out about 6 hours later. Not sure what's going on with that but otherwise an uneventful trip home.
