Just sayin, It still doesn’t feel real, I finally have my dream car! I bought her just a couple weeks ago a 1978 fixer-upper I bought her from a bail bondsman just a few weeks ago. After some brakes work and new tires just to get it on the road again. Now we can look for other issues that need repair. But even with all its little issues I've not once regretted it. I absolutely love these stingrays. I drove it to work the first time couple days ago and it just felt so good. Wonder why I didn’t get one a long time ago 😁

And if you're like me it will never get old brother!
I've had mine since new, 44 years. And I park it every Winter.
When I get her out for the first time in the Spring, it's like '76 all over again...
Congrats!.........

Depending on how the bondsman came into possession of that Vette, I would suggest changing all the locks on the car. Change ignition lock too. Kits are available with correct looking keys. Just sayin.
