New 87
I've been reading this forum for a considerable length of time and find the information, discussions, and miscellaneous banterings both informative and entertaining.
And after 15 years 9 months and three days...(not that I’ve been counting) I returned to the wonderful world of vette ownership. I picked up an 87’ Dark Red coupe with graphite interior which is in incredible original shape.
I'm certain to have questions in the coming weeks and months as I discover the difference between incredible and reality but am confident that you all will have the answers.
It’s great to be back.
And the Mrs. is absolutely thrilled........that I wont be whining anymore.

87s are great. Make sure that you find a copy of Motor Trend (?) where it was named one of the top ten cars in the world. There is also a great editorial, I'll have to look it up, by a motor writer about his lust for the 87. Enjoy it and welcome back.
