nice, NICE car!!!
Welcome out of your nutshell.
Make sure you appraise that car professionally and take pics and staple them to the appraisal sheet for the insurance company!

Yes sir, that is coming with the car as well. I believe it is white, but not 'pristine'.

Nice vette
where did you find that car? The reason I'm asking is because there used to be a vette just like that around where I live in CT.
That car was the same color, had a black hard top, and the same wheels. I think it had a feul injected 468 big block, doug nash 5 speed, and 3.08s.
It was always my favorite car at the local corvette shows and your car is just like it.

You sir have hit the jackpot; that is indeed the car! Gears are now 3:36's though (sending the 3:08's separately).
Good eye.

Let's just say that it was not a steal by any means.

I knew that was the same car!
You're lucky, that car looks and sounds awesome. I actually have some pictures of it from a local show in my corvette pic album.

Wow, what a nice Vette. It's got all of the aftermarket mods I would want already on it. I am sure you'll love it. Congrats!

I've seen that car at the CT shows too,very very nice machine. I'm surprised the guy sold it, he brought it back from the dead better then Dr Frankenstein could have. I think everytime I saw that car it was changed with more HP parts added to it. If I recall, the mufflers were so big he had to remove the spare tire compartment?
Good luck with it and lite 'em up, that's no NCRS trailer queen thats for sure.

Oh yeah, that car is NCRS for sure, same as mine. We sould love to see the dyno sheet.
The pattern on the shifter ball makes it look like the car has OD. BB, FI, and OD, that is sweet. FI will probably be in the future for my car.
