Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / September 2005Newbie intro and thanks......
Hi all- After many years of lusting after a nice C-3 Vette, I finally found one and took posession of it today. It's a pretty nice 1974 with a fair amount of miles but only 3500 on a rebuilt (top end) 350. AC, auto (I know, I know...), new tires, sidepipes and in a coat of beautiful red. I'm looking forward to diving into it in the coming months as it has quite a few minor issues to whip into shape. Most of the common ones I've heard about are there (vacuum problems with the headlights, leaky t-tops, A/C issues, seatbelts, LOTS of heat buildup inside, etc.) so I have some work to do. I'm thinking with the advice of some of the experts here I can handle most of the small stuff and have already found a few answers just by reading thru old posts. Just wanted to say thanks to those who share their knowledge and I anticipate learning alot by hanging around here. I'll try to keep the stupid questions to a minimum but I'm new to this so I'll probably slip one in here and there. Please bear with me! I learn quick so I hope I won't be TOO annoying for the more knowledgeable folks here......; ) Just wanted to say hello and thanks in advance for all the info I'm sure to collect in here...! Cheers! Pat Hey Pat, CONGRATS! I'm sure there are tons of other links but this one I found was pretty good when tracking info on my '73: http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/index.php Tony (from rmmp) > Hi all- > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Pat > Hey Pat, CONGRATS!

Recently there was a thread from an owner who couldn't get his Corvette to turn over. Maybe he oughta move to Florida! Either that or sign up for obedience school.

Welcome and enjoy the car! Don't forget to wave! (BTW, I don't limit my waves to Corvettes - any oldie that captures my appreciation gets a 4 finger salute.) Here's waving to ya - \|||| Owen ___ '67BB & '72BB -- not affiliated with JLA forum in any way -- alt.autos.corvette is original posting -- ___ "To know the world intimately is the beginning of caring." -- Ann Hayman Zwinger Welcome as well. I'm pretty new too, I posted my first message just a few weeks ago. I got my 76 back in April and have already done a lot of the things you mention below. Let me know if you want specific info since I've picked up a lot of "experience" already just from the 6 months I've been working on mine.
