Default Finally- found our Vette

It's been a long search. Finally, after selling our 04 some time ago we found a 2003 50th Anniversary. One owner, 5000 original miles, no mods. It's one beautiful Vette. The story: We were checking out a c6 at a private dealer about 200 miles from our home, long drive. The C6was very nice although it had a lot of miles. My wife was outside talking to a friend of the dealer. He told her he had a vette and was thinking of selling it. She asked where it was, he said in a garage he rented from the dealer, next door. Long story short: It's now ours. Having it prepped for delivery by the very dealer we were there to see. The dealer is handling the paper work. Great guy. Pics to be posted when we get it home.
