First Time 'Vette Owner
I am very proud to be a 'Vette owner. It was actually unintended and quite unexpected, but I got my hands on a red collector owned 1989 with only 90K original miles.
It was one of my Dad's. He bought it at an estate auction for CHEAP. Two weeks later he bought a second one, a Glenwood Edition in a similar manner, in amazing condition. 135K on the odometer for only $6,000!!!
My birthday is in a week, Dad knew I liked the car and gave it to me in exchange for a Camaro project of mine that had stalled due to my growing business and its demands on my schedule.
Car has some minor issues as expected with one of its age, but manageable over a day or weekend kind of thing.
I believe them common issues, so here I am to glean knowledge from your experiences and wisdom and present my appreciation in advance.
Thank you for having me.
