I picked this up while we sort out my son’s tumultuous build. My buddy’s shop had been working on it and I became friends with the former owner. My son just happened to run into him at school and they struck up a friendship. He mentioned that he had run into some financial trouble and was looking t sell it, we were very interested and ended up purchasing it.
It looked and ran great, all very well sorted. We got a good deal on it. What could go wrong?

It's a C3 Corvette! It's over 50 years old!
Indeed!
