Vette(s): 1972 corvette stingray convertible
2007 coupe
Yup, yo sure is!!!!! welcome!!
Corvette440hp it took me a couple try re the picture. If you are talking about the emblem it says Grandsport under Stingray....another thing I learned about my treasure. I researched the Internet to find out what made her a Grandsport only torealize they werent made in 76. The previous owner repainted her and applied the stripe, so im thinking they were trying to make it a Grandsport wannabe, lol.
Ebo, stripe goes all the way.
Yep, i love the blue, ill eventually repaint and will keep the blue however thats way dowm the road. Pipe setup is what makes her rumble, but kinda hard to carry on a conversation in the car, lol. Something else i may change later.
Well it looks like you are already having fun....the hardest part of owning one of these cars is not being able to drive it everyday!

Sharon, thanks for replying about your emblem and pipes........that's cool. But you really didn't have to respond to ebo's question...............he has a hard time comprehending written words. Ebo's just jealous that he doesn't have a BLUE Vette. He ONLY has a RED one and a WHITE one. AS YOU SEE Sharon ebo hates me..........even if we are brothers! I'll bet this place is growing on you................is it?

Ohio is a good location as you should be able to reach the Mid and the East gatherings if you wish. Not sure how far you are from the "Rook" but stay a safe distance from him.....bad news, almost as bad as Corvette440.and he's in Ohio also. 
Again, welcome and enjoy that sweet ride!
eboSharon, I know right where Heath, OH is - I helped open a Target store there eons ago!
Check out my post on the Restoration Station Fall Color tour this weekend down in Springboro - not too far for you - I'll be coming from Indy. Hope to see you there!

Gilbert, thanks that you think the photo is calendar worthy. I took u40 pics of her that day:)
Manchestershark, Rook and fpvette72, yostusota and dskopp, thanks for the welcome! Im so glad i took the leap and got her, love driving her, love the power!
Corvette440hp i gotta chuckle...but its all good:) i consider myself blessed to finally get one. I call her my midlife crisis, im sure shell be my one and only Vette. These cars are such classics..
Marshall, target is still going strong, small world! I read about the tour, car is still in the shop, but who knows Springboro isnt all that far. I want to get a good drive in before i garage her for the winter. Which leads to something else id like suggestions on. My garage is detached, not heated. What can i do thru the winter to ensure shell be good come spring?
Your signature picture definitely should be in the 2012 C3VR Calendar.
Here is the link.
And yes, you have a Corvette. A beautiful Corvette.
