Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Nice car Welcome

Tell us something more about your car. How did you come to own it and what are your plans for it?
|UPDATED|8/6/2012 9:15:03 AM (AZT)|/UPDATED|
I came to own this car at the Corvette Expo in Knoxville, Tn. in 1994. I've had it NCRS judged twice (Second Flight both times), the second time I missed Top Flight by about 3 per centage points. My goal is to do a little more to it, mainly install the correct A.I.R. system I have and a couple other small items, to obtain a Top Flight award.


This car is unrestored, I had it stripped and repainted with original paint and color 7 years ago. It has the original interior and practically all original parts still on it. I just had the original A/C compressor rebuilt, haven't put it on yet, I'm running an after market unit currently. I have an original tire in the spare tire tub.
I drive this car, not a lot, but do get 'er out for cruises and shows.
I bought my first Corvette (a '63 Fuel Inj Roadster) when I was 18 years old and have owned at least one every day of my life since. I drove a big block 72 for 28 years, and currently own a 65 Roadster which I drive a lot. Having owned, drivin, and worked on C2's and C3's for over 40 years I know them pretty well and love them more than any others.


Welcome, Lee! Very nice car! You'll find that this is the best site on the net for C3 info and talk! Enjoy!

Welcome Lee, wow what a sharp looking car!
ebo
I'm glad you said it was a repaint because when you said unrestored after I seen that photo I almost fell over. I'd love to see this one in person it's a beauty.

Yes, I had to have it repainted. I had it in Bowling Green for a judging event at the museum and alone with about 80 other Corvettes, it go caught on the judging/parade grounds by a hail storm that blew and rain golf ball size hail for just over 30 minutes. I wasn't the only grown kid there crying, so along came a repaint.
Give me shout sometime when you are in are passing thru Atlanta on your way to Florida as I'd love to show it to you.
Cheers
