Hi, My name is Don Meyer. I have owned 9 Vettes thru out the years starting w/a 1960 in 1965. I have owned mostly mid yrs. I sold my 9th earlier this yr ...a 02 Zo6 due to a much lower retirement income.
I live in St Cloud, FL & have a 4 car garage . It has a hyd lift, paint booth,mig & tig welders etc.
I like doing body/paint work, but do not like mech work. I have done body/paint work on at least 25 Vettes thru out the yrs. for friends.
I miss not having a Vette & am trying to gather info on wheather to start looking for a C3 or C4. I only can afford something below $10k.I would like to find one in good mech condition needing body/paint work. I would prefer a manual trans.
Glad to be a member & hope I can help in the fiberglass/paint area.

Don!
I too have a four car garage, but at the moment it only holds my '01 vert. In a couple months will be retiring and moving permanently to Ft. Myers. Will transport the '69 big block and the '04 Z06 CE when we move. Don't have a lift yet, but that is something that is a possibility someday. I designed the garage so that I have enough ceiling height if I decide to add the lift.
Well good luck with your search. There is a ton of information on the internet, just be careful dealing long distance!

aboard!
Finding a C4 under $10K shouldn't be a problem.
I got my '93 vert for $7.5K and it has been great.

Thanks for the welcomes & help. I've been checking E-Bay, but am afraid to buy from the slte. I just got to contain my enthusiasm & be patient.
I am going to start by looking lat 4 or 6 spd cars.
Don

Yeah, Ebay is DEFINITELY a "buyer beware" atmosphere. You might want to think about attending some Corvette shows to see what might be there. Some of them are for sale there.
Good luck!
