Many years I’ve been dreaming to have my own Corvette. Well I just decided that I’m gona have one someday. It didn’t took that long to realize that new ones from Finland cost way too much for normal person. As much as your house. So cheaper way buy one from US a little older. I have never been fan of 80’s cars and same thing with the Corvettes. The C4 just didn’t look that good to my eyes so then it just turned someway to C3. I use to live couple years in San Francisco Bay Area that time and got a job offer from Finland and that’s why returned back. Rest of my family still stayed at Mountain View, CA.
One day in 2003 my dad found out about one in Ebay which was cheap enough. We managed to buy that car. It was located in LA and friend of ours lived there and he picked up the car. I had my first Corvette finally.

Blue, Automatic, Power everything. It was a project car. You could have driven it but still it needed to fix before any further enjoyment would be possible with it.
15″ wheel. 3-speed automatic. Who in the world puts 3-speed automatic grear box in Corvette. Well it was 70’s.

The interior was turn up side down and needed lot’s of work. The car was in Mountain View, almost half year and just sat there because I was in Finland. In september 2003 the car finally was shipped to Finland where it would be fixed someday in future.
For many years it just was there and few times a year I drove it around the block just to keep things working. What ever there was left.
