    New Member Intro

    Hello.

    Greetings from northeast Minnesota!

    I am new to NCRS, but not Corvettes.

    I was a Chevrolet mechanic 1979-1986 and I always wanted one when I was working on them.

    bought a '74 454 roadster in '86, a '64 327/365 roadster in '00, and a '91 a few years back, all have since been sold.

    Anyway, I recently took some retirement money from my dwindling fund and bought a CA 1 (woman) owner '65 coupe, off the road since '88, original everything including paint, 72K. S/N 135, Docs include window sticker, POP, bill of sale etc. Needs a lot of work but nothing too daunting. Although complete and runs, the paint and interior are just a little too far gone for bowtie or survivor possibilities.

    Plan is interior and mechanicals now, paint this summer, and perhaps a body off down the road.

    Greetings!

                Welcome aboard, John. Hope to meet you at an NCRS event. Sounds like a nice '65 coupe you located.
                I had the same approach as you, and liquidated a retirement account that wasn't performing, and invested in a '67 convertible. I'm still very, very glad I did.
                Enjoy the ride, as you have picked the right club.
                Ridge.
