When did you get your 'vette? I bought mine in '87. How many miles? I drive mine regularly, but its still got less than 55K on it. We've got the same exterior and interior color OPs, so my interest is piqued.

Also, do you have rear defog, 6-way d-side seat, power everythang, mirror tops, Gymkhana, cruise, yada..yada.....?

Time to hit it. :sleep:

Peace

Yes, the car has every option available as far as I know. My girlfriend saw your signature and thought it was my car. lol. I'm glad you like it man, yours is sweeet too. I think the only difference is that you have the standard wheels, and I have the aluminum wheels option.

EDIT : I have only had this car for about 3 weeks, but I'm loving it so far. It's in GREAT shape, the only thing I really need to do is recover the seats. What kind of shape are your seats in?

Thanks 78Pace. Post some Pics! I love those!

J-Man,

The passenger seat is perfect, the driver's side has a small tear between the vinyl and leather (gonna replace soon). The carpets are decent. Especially the rear deck, 'cause I always keep the privacy shield drawn (no sun fade). The worst problem with the interior is the steering wheel. After 20 years, the fiber padding broke down and I've got a small hole in the leather and that poopiety, sticky bonding glue seeps out. Not so bad in the winter, but terrible in the summer.
