New to the Forum
Newly retired with just about 40 years as an ironworker. I’ve owned Corvettes in the past, a 63 coupe in the 70’s and a 78 in the 80’s but nothing since. I’m looking to update my knowledge and hope this forum will help do that so I can buy with confidence. I jumped in right away, found a car I liked (a 67 coupe with an L79, AC, PB, PS in Marlboro Maroon) but as it came closer to finalizing the deal I realized there were too many things I didn’t know. So I’m going to slow down and get myself educated! I have received a lot of help from member 68hemi who steered me to this forum. Thanks, Dave
