Welcome Joey

Welcome, Joey! Nice to see another 79 on here! you'll find that this is the best site on the net for C3 info and talk! Enjoy!

I live in Puerto Rico in a city called Vega Baja and there are many corvettes on the island including a 53 (the guy also owns about 25 more). We have a local chapter of the NCRS and a few local clubs like the one I go to called , Bayamonvette 11 years strong. I (as everybody else here) dreamed of having a Stingray, but something always happens. 2 years ago my wife's uncle past away and left her a Mercedes 320 that owed about $12000 and my mother in law was in charged of his estate so she decided that I shouldn't have a Mercedes and had the bank take it away, so my wife and I took the money we were going to use to pay the car and bought my dream car for $9500 and used the rest to condition it. Since it's only a two seater, my mother in law will never ride in it. So thanks to my wooooonderful mother in law, whom I think was born in Blair county(LOL), I now own a beautiful matching number and almost original 41,000 mile Dark blue Corvette. Last week I took out the manifold and the valve covers and a few other things and painted the engine to it's original chevy blue(by the way it looks more green than blue, maybe the guy who named it was color blind) with a brush and airbrushed all the black parts looks pretty nice. I promise to post pictures joey

Sounds like a wonderful car and a great mother-in-law .  But it was the wife you married so she sound great.  I did not realize there were that many vettes on the island.
