Got me a 40th for my 40th birthday
Been lurking around here (off and on for about 2 yrs now) since I started my search for a Corvette. Great forum and a bunch of great members. Looking forward to interacting more and contributing as well.
I've always wanted one since the early 90's......only took about 22 years to have one.
One owner vette with 105K miles. Car runs great and the best part is that it came with all the maintenance records -- seller gave me stack of papers about 2 inches thick showing all the maintenance receipts (from dealer) and a notebook of hand written notes regarding all the stuff he did to the car. Its nice to know that the car has been meticulously maintained.

Congrats and Happy Birthday.
When you get a chance, get ya some Flexicote Spray Paint and spray that air dam underneath the nose. Will make it look brand new!!
Enjoy! My first Vette was a C4 too.

Yes, a very nice looking car. Was never a big fan of the chrome saw blades but they look really sharp on your car, something to do with that blue maybe.

Flexicote Spray Paint – is this something I can buy at the local HD or Lowes?

I cleaned the fuel rail covers really good with soap and water, then applied Adhesion promoter, primered it, 3 coats of hi temp engine red and 3 coats of clear.
I had my wife hand painted the "corvette" logo since she has a much more steady hand than I do............all that finger nail painting finally paid off.
WOW it could pass for new!!!!

if the airdam is in bad shape - tears, deep gouges, scrapes, replacements are fairly inexpensive, and an easy install.
BTW, welcome to the forum, congrats on your new ride - BTW, nice looking 93, and happy b-day!
