The only pics I have are from the previous owner, it hasn't sat still long enough to snap any new ones! Hopefully we will be able to "bond" for a while before I just absolutely HAVE to modify it.

I also just purchased my first Vette. 92 Polo Green Coupe, 6 speed with 46K miles. Only had it out 3 times but I love driving it. Can't wait till the snow clears here in PA so I can get it on the road.

Good luck and enjoy......
