Default Just bought my first Corvette, and it's a Z06 to boot!

Yay! Just brought home my "new" Vette

It's a one owner 2002 Z06 with 25,800 km (16,031 miles) millennium yellow. Has a tiger shark front fascia and also has the rear fascia but not installed, the stock fascia is still on the car. The previous owner bout the tiger shark pieces back in 2002 I believe.

Other than that it's completely stock right down to the original tires. The very nest thing I'm going to do is put on some new rubber.

The interior still smells new.

Pictures to follow once I figure out how to post some.

Congrats! Close to doing the same - struck a deal, now we just have to work out the pick up. I too found a one-owner, low mileage example after seeing a bunch of different cars. Way to go on the Z...it's a blast to drive, as many in the forum will attest.

Cheers.

Congrats! I remember the day I drove mine home over 13yrs ago. You will enjoy that car for many years to come...which is the reason I still have mine.

Sounds like you found a mint condition car. Look forward to seeing pics when you can post them.

Ditto on the pics (or it didn't happen ), great color choice btw. I could not sleep the night before I was to purchase my Z. Very few things affect me like that as an adult, I was just like a kid on Christmas eve..............

LOL - I have this problem just pulling up to the driveway after work and all she's doing is sitting there.

Nice car, I seen that car for sale locally on Kijiji a while back and thought is was pretty sweet, he had the TS rear that went with the car I think.
Looking forward for the pics when the rear is installed.
What part of Calgary are you in?
Cheers!
