Default First time Vette owner - Knoxville, Tennessee

Hello all. Just picked up a 1991 C4 with 47,000 miles. Has been stored in a barn for the last 10 years. Car is bone stock and mechanically sound. I'll be searching around the forums performance mods!

Welcome and congrats on the C4. Spend some time in the C4 sections and you should get plenty of ideas for performance mods.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I'll post some pics when the C4 gets here (having it shipped).

Thanks! It's red with red and black interior. I had it shipped and it got here last night! I will post some pics today! Last night was the first time I have ever drove a Vette! I paid $7200.... Hope I didnt overpay..... If I would have known about this forum before hand it would have sure been helpful!

Very nice looking and I'm sure in excellent condition in & out. No, I would not say you overpaid. To get a Corvette in that nice of condition at that price is fair in my opinion. '91 was the last year for the L98 engine which I have heard has fewer problems than the LT1 that followed in '92. It also can be modified easily for more power if you so choose.
Congrats and enjoy your new Corvette
