Corvette arrive last night

My 77 Corvette arrived last night from Californina to New Smyrna Beach, FL. Yipee! It is about what I expected and happy with the car. The brake lights and turn signals did not work due to a blown fuse and are now working again. A/C blows nice and cold and the car can rip!!!! Paint could be a bit better but a nice 5 ft car.

Can't wait to see her in the sun and start to get to know her. New car cover arrives today but wife says the Vette only got to stay in the garage last night and it's her car back in there tonight. I have a 73 Cadillac ambulance I keep stored in a garage behind the house which I will move to a storage place at the cemetery. The Vette will go in the back with the cover and keep the bikes in the garage.

More to come!

Maybe the wife has to go! Just kidding Richard. We're all happy she arrived safe, sound and is what you expected. You need to get that brake light problem fixed or the fuse will blow again and there's the possibility of getting rear ended. I hope you continue to post and keep us up to date.

Congrats. :thumbsup:
