Default Re: What was your 1st car?

Love reading these stories and seeing the pics. Now I get to share my son's first car. We spent 18 months looking for the right Chevelle, but the prices just wouldn't let the math work. Instead he "settled" for a 1968 Corvette Convertible.

It's a two owner car, with the second owner purchasing the car in 1973. Born with L79, M20 with 3.23 posi. Corvette Bronze paint. Car has been off the road for 10 years, so all of the major systems require refurbishing, but we have until the end of the summer, before he wants it for homecoming.

We started simple disassembly and are having a great time digging through all the numbers. After we pulled the fule tank, we recovered the tank sticker. Talk about a pretty excited kid!

We'll keep sharing as we get further along.

Blair and Cullen
