Hi, I just bought my first Vette at almost 60 years old (I feel like I'm 25). I bought an 80 model that has L82 badges on the side but it had a new crate motor put in it 4 years ago (350/265). It has 78000 orig miles and 10,000 on the new motor. It rides better than any Vette that I've ridden in before. Someone put a fiberglass spring in the rear and maybe that's why it rides so good. I bought it off ebay and went to Sailsbury N. C. to pick it up, about 250 miles. I was very pleased. I've been a Ford man all my life, but always liked Corvettes. I also have a 1930 Ford Model A hotrod. I know that I will learn a lot from this site. I hope to hear from some of you soon. Harleyboy52

Welcome to the forum. Nice pictures..2 good looking rides!! Do you have the Harley to go with the name? I am finding the vette is pretty good at making me feel younger! I know that feeling of being "almost 60", but everytime I get in the vette (or on my Harley) the years melt away...I wish!

Enjoy....

Yes I have the Harley also. I'm a firefighter and I have a 2003 Firefighter Special Edition Road King. I had a Wide Glide before that and totaled it in Ark. coming back to N. C. from Sturgis in 2002. I was ejected at 65 MPH after hitting a BAD place in the road. That was a sweet bike. Rebel paint job and 22" apehangers. I rode it to Sturgis from southeastern N. C. three times. It had 72000 miles on it when it met it's demise. Here are some pics.

 

I hit the wrong key and didn't send the pics. Here we go again.

Well my Road King pics must be to large to load so here is a pic of my wife's 57 Tbird. We sold it about 4 months ago. It was perfect. I told you that I was a Ford man.
