My first Vette, now owned by JB79:

Thanks Adam - great site and service you are providing. Looking forward to meeting other C3 owners, learning more about my newest buggy and maybe attending some events.
This 1973 L-48 Coupe was sold new here in Las Vegas and immediately got the custom paint. Originally it also had a mural of Elvis on the rear deck, but the first owner I guess got tired of it and had it removed, then added a fresh clear coat (have pictures of the mural). Then it went to live in OR with a middle aged lady librarian, who eventually sold it to her towns fire chief, but I found it in WA living with a retired gent who only had it for 6 months. So I'll be it's 5th owner. Will be a weekend toy to relive my third childhood with (my only excuse for buying it I guess).
This is my 6th Corvette, and the newest one I've owned (first five were all 58's and 59's - wish I had them back). I just bought it and haven't even arranged transport on it yet to get it to Vegas. Was lucky in that a very close friend lives where it is and completely checked it out and drove it before I bought. He really had to nitpick to say anything negative at all, so its a good one. It's all original with matching numbers (except the wheels), is in 98-99% condition and has been very well taken care of. I have the complete history and paper trail on it, and pictures from during its life too.
