Hey all,

Im a new Vette owner, forum user, and in time NVCC member. I recently purchased a 1978 Silver Anniversary C3 (http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=922549); were still getting acquainted  I can say, however, I Love driving it! My other vehicle is a 2001 F250, 4x4, V10; quite a different experience.

Ill be searching around the posts here looking for advice and most likely learning quite a bit; not too difficult since Im start out not knowing anything.

My endless admiration for the C3 inspired me to purchase the vehicle. My objective is to continue the previous owners restoration process. My restoration objective is to keep the car stock. More specifically, I need to learn what I can realistically change/upgrade without affecting status as a stock vehicle or negatively impact the value of the vehicle. ?!?!? Theres always a tradeoff.

Work is going to keep me very busy for the next few months, but at some time, Id also like to join yall in a local cruse or something somewhere  good excuse to just drive. I got funny looks from my wife the first time I said I was going out for a drive and didnt return home until hours later, little sun-burn. Love it  love it  love it!

I live in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington DC. Id enjoy hearing from yall anytime  0013@smartneighborhood.net. Until then& please excuse my silly questions, Im learning.

Cheers,
0013

Welcome aboard! Your picture gives me an 'invalid folder' when
I click on it ( maybe its work... ).

I think we have all gotten that look from our wives, she'll get
used to it!

Welcome Jeff and congrats on the 'new' Corvette. She is a beauty. We have a number of cruises and social events coming up in the near future. Most of them are listed under Events (http://www.nvcorvetteclub.com/nvcc/index.jsp).

If you scroll through some of the recent discussions here under the Social and Cruises Forums you can see where some more are in progress.

Again welcome and hope to see you at some of the events in the near future. (Love those C3s!)

Lots of knowledgeable folks in this club...I'm still learning a lot as one of the youngest aboard. Congrats on your new ride...about two months ago I noticed a '78 for sale off Rt 29 near Madison...I almost turned around but 1 vette payment is enough. Now I can just admire your new treasure. Welcome to the best hobby on earth! [:D]

Ditto that. [:D]

I thought I was one of the youngest on board, but apparently Michael's got me beat.[#-o]
