Hello everybody, just wanted to say hi since this is my first time in this forum . I bought my first Vette this April, and had waited 40 yrs. to buy one. I bought my all original '81 two-tone off Ebay, and it is truely a turn key car. It has only 33k miles on it and was kept in a garage that was heat, humidity, and hepa filtered. It even still has the original exaust on it :cool. My Uncle was the one that got me into these great cars when I was young. He owned a '60, '64, and a '67 convertable, and I always promised myself one day I would own one . Here are some pics of my baby .

Welcome Aboard Mike,

Very nice Vette. I believe there are others here with that color combination.

I'm sure you'll find this forum as the best, most informative and friendly Vette resource on the net.

This is the third forum I belong to, and it seems you get alot of responces for numerous questions. I belong to one from the museum that hardly anybody goes into :confused . I'll be asking tons of guestions, and maybe giving an answer or two hnoes . My Granddaughter loves riding in my vette, and goes to shows with me :cool . As you can see, she loves her vette.

Welcome to CAC!

Funny how kids love these cars. I know when I was young I loved them. My friend had a barbie corvette and I so wanted it! Well I never did get the toy one but i am much happier with a real one.

Thanks for the welcome in this forum :cool . When I saw how clean this vette was, it blew me away...yes, especially the engine bay :Twist:Twist. When I saw that vette show up on that 10 car carrier, it was like a dream come true. I looked at about 1000 vettes all over the U.S. and for the money this was the cleanest one. I'll have to post some pics of the interior and show you how clean that is :cool

Nice find on eBay!
The engine compartment is one of the cleanest i've seen.

I've owned my for about 1 1/2 years and I'm hooked.

Have fun!

Welcome, Mike.
Great photos. Its important to instill the Corvette heritage in the youngsters at an early age. Keep the tradition going strong.
