C5 in SLC
Good day everyone!
I'm the proud owner of a low mile Corvette.
Been my dream since I discovered the fiscally responsible performance car existed, and especially since I saw my first video of an LT1's startup and the ensuing burbling.
For the last 5 years i've been serving in the USMC, continuously out of CONUS and not permitted to drive. As a car guy this has been an extremely tough time for me. But I luckily found this beauty in a shady dealership, VIN checked out for no odometer rollout. 67k miles, $11,200, manual 6 (must have for me). Paid cash and had it shipped from Manassas to Salt Lake City, UT for $1150.
Complete fluid flush/refresh.
