Probably the best description of why we drive classic cars. They shake, they rattle, they have little quirks about them that make them more unique that new cars. It's their personalities breaking through.

HI Guys, when I saw the picture of your yellow 72 Corvette on Hagerty Road Trip this morning I cracked a smile because I have had two corvettes in my life, a silver green 1965 and a yellow 1970. My yellow 1970 is an exact copy of your 1972 except I had a 454 engine with a manual 4 speed. Yes, the fiberglass bodies of these old classic cars do fall apart after a while and you need to spend a lot of time repairing things. I’m sure you had the same problem with a leaking T-Top like I did as well. The thing I like most about it is they had chrome bumpers on both the front and rear. I started disliking them when they went to fiberglass bumpers. I wish I still had mine!

I own the same yellow 1972 Corvette Stingray only mine has side pipes original side pipes. And I've had her for decades. And I've driven a lot of muscle cars. But I will say this to this day my 72 Stingray has given me the greatest rides of my life. As far as I'm concerned there's just nothing better then an old school Stingray.

Congrats on the ride! A few suggestions that might help you enjoy your first muscle/sports car a little more. First, get the tires balanced or get new tires (if one is out of round or the belts are loose, replace ). 80 will be a breeze. Second, buy/borrow a vac gauge, but some vac hose and check the web for likely culprits for your headlight door issue. Or leave them - it looks cool!
