Default Hurricane Sandy 427 purchase.... :)

Made a very early morning mad dash to a nearby dealer to make the trade. My 2011 GS for a 427. It was their first hurricane delivery. She's safe in my garage getting cleaned and having a few mods installed.



Here are a few pictures. I'll post more later... Winds are picking up and the power is flickering...

Congrats! I know this didn't affect you but I would definitely watch out for flood cars coming from VA north in the future.

Where I'm at the weather isn't really that bad. I'm south of DC but you are right there will be a few flood cars on the market.

I understand entirely why you did what you did this AM. You are in a better place now, brother man. Now there is a car that NEVER needs an apology when you show up in it. Strong work, sir.

Congrats! I love the red interior of your GS, but I would take that 427 any day. That is a sweet car!

Congrats on the purchase. Cyber Gray seems to be a real popular color choice. Glad you made it home before the storm. Mine's hooked up on life support in the garage..........because it's snowing outside right now.

Pics are slow to load but posts indicate Cyber Gray with red interior. WTG!

I'm picking up mine mid-week (Cyber as well) if Sandy will let me in the side door to Detroit.


Dlr is having a firesale on C6 FS forum but ends on Wed
