Default Picked up the vette today

After waiting for a couple of weeks for the vette to be shipped from Calif, got the call that it was here. Kind of nervous driving up to get it, wondering what kind of damage I might find, after a trip across the Pacific and inter island on a barge, but, to my great relief, only a light dusting of salt, and 1 extra mile on the odometer. Had a nice 30 mi. cruise home with no serious surprises. I'm a happy camper!! So happy, I might have to camp in the garage so I don't have to keep walking out there to look at it! Ahh, life is good!! :chevy

Thanks guys, it's a black 75, saddle int, with 500 mi on a rebuilt L48 and auto trans. All power and A/C. New brakes, shocks, exhaust. Even the clock works! It's not a rocket ship, but sure does drive nice. Now, to find someone to remove the cc, true duals, then.........Hmmmm. :D
Will post some pics when I figure out how to get them from the scannner to here :chevy
