My 71 finally was delivered today...!!
I found it in McKinney Texas in May. Bought it June 5th after researching the dealership and having a mechanic check it out top to bottom. Was trucked down to Houston to clear customs and be shipped. Was put in a container and June 13th. Arrived in Spain June 25. Released from customs yesterday and I picked it up this morning... It’s everything I hoped it would be. Drop dead gorgeous and in beautiful shape. Here is my, new to me, 1971 Corvette coupe 😊

Nice!
You should have NO shortage of beautiful roads to cruise on all along the Riviera.
We were in Barcelona and Mallorca a couple of years ago and loved it.
I can't imaging having my '69 over there and meandering along those gorgeous coastline roads with the tops off!
Enjoy!

Well, the only thing I might add is that you have extremely good taste in cars. 
Our cars could be twins. And wait till you see that shiny Bridgehampton Blue car at sunset!! Highlights you won't believe....

The shipping company did an outstanding job securing the Corvette in the container. Each wheel had wooden blocks hammered around them and super tie downs. I can highly recommend Schumacher Cargo Logistics to anyone who wants to ship a car.
