Default New vette!!!!!

Hi, I'm a spanish guy who's just aquired a '76 vette. That's a dream for me, moreover when I live in Spain, there are very few vettes here (I think that no more than 20 or 30) and what is more important: it's more expensive, and it's difficult to buy one inside Spain.
I've bought it in Germany, and last Saturday morning I saw a vette for the first time in my life. I got completely shocked, it's amazing!! Engine was perfect, upholstery was perfect, everything. Suppose how surprised people are when they see the car, they have never seen a vette!!! It runs strong, sounds like heaven, it's my way to scape from reality, work or whatever....

Welcome to the forum!!

You'll have to get us some pictures of your car as you cruise around Spain. I spent quite a bit of time in Madrid and really loved your city. I rented a car and drove up to the Alcazar castle in Segovia, but a Vette with that castle in the background would look much better than my rental car!

Nice looking vette. I bet it is a head turner over there. I am guessing the videos are from when it was delivered to you.
Thanks for sharing the pics. Have a blast in your new toy.

and what is more important: it's more expensive, and it's difficult to buy one inside Spain.
Why is that?
