Hello Members,

I'm new to Corvette Forums ... but am an 'oldie' having purchased my very first vanilla-flavored 1960 'Vette back in 1960 after graduating from high-school then ... didn't particularly like the car ... sold it in 1962 ... ordered a 1963 SWC ... an early car (#3x) with fuel-injection.

Later on in 1965, purchased a new Fuelie ... that car ran like the '63 ... both unremarkable in performance ... both excellent as 'chickie-magnets.' Anyway, became 'tired' with them ... purchased several '67 bb's ... they too, were poor performer's.

Then, in 1990/1, my young son and I began planning so as to 'build' a Corvette to give him (and me) an appreciation for what it takes to put together a car. After a few years of buying many mid-year 'Vette parts and pieces, we ended up with a car that would 'go like a mashed cat!!'

Anyway, I digress here ... but 'remembering' bring's back some very fond memories of working with my son on that car.

These days, I'm refurbishing my '63 ... the one I purchased back in 1963.

I'm happy to be here on this forum to be able to ask questions and receive objective information regarding what-it-is I'm doing to my '63 to get it to where I'll be able to enjoy the car. I'm not an absolute purist at all ...

Oh ya, I still have the other three 'mid-years' that I bought 'brand-new' during those fun-filled and wonderful times.


Best Regards,

PeteZ

 

Welcome. Hope you like it here.

 

Petez,... I have been around corvettes since I was born. my uncle has a 1960. I was born in 61, so in the start I was there. when we had bon fires we would camp under the 60 top. to think back then wow, he just put the top in the yard for us to play under. he still has the 1960 and now I have a 92, No kids under mine!!!!! its to small....

 

Welcome aboard Pete..its pretty amazing that you still have that 63 all these years later. If you have any pics on your computer I would love to see them.
