I just saw your car for the first time. I am far from a purist, but even a guy like me has to be amazed by your vette. I bet rick hendrick wishes he had that one in his collection.

There's a good chance it will end up in his collection after I'm done parading it around.

Looks like the same exterior and interior colors as this one used for early photo shoots. This has a big block and rally wheels w/red lines though.

I think I got it quite a while ago on a CD I bought that had a collection of factory photos of Vettes through the years. Here's another one.




These appear to have been taken near Pebble Beach which is about a hour south of my home Santa Cruz. Those trees look like Monterey Cyprus and it looks like fog rolling in from the ocean in the background which happens frequently down there.

Matt,

I understood what you were saying...it was more about the presentation of the statement.

See you in Lakeland!

Matt,

No mecum? Call John Ballard for paint...lol

Buyer's are few and far between.

I did purchase a 95 PG/BLK ZR-1 car in November, 36 miles and out of your area it's entire life.

This is a nice car you have posted here! Love it!
