Default My "New" C4

Thanks to TriumphGT6 I am now able to post the pictures of my "New" C4 which I bought last month on e-bay. I have wanted a corvette all my life and was now in a position to get out. I wanted the C4 because I just loved the body style and also wanted a 96 as it was the last year of the C4. This fine ride has only 40,600 miles and is a two owner car that started life in Fla and them moved to TN. Now it is living in my garage in Columbia SC. The passenger seat looks like it was never used.

Automatic. The only option it did not come with is the low/flat tire warning system. I am in the process of a very in depth detailing of this car. Since I have started using the Corvette Forum I have learned a bunch. I have some old pictures of my Dad with his 67 vert and as soon as I get them scanned I will post them. I have wanted a corvette since I was 8 years old, I am now 46 and finally got one. Its a dream come true. I spent 20 years in the Air Force and now living in one place and it is practical to have one now.

Sweet, I know the feeling well. And from your pictures it's rare to capture the true color of torch red and yours just about did it.

Congrats!

She's a beauty. You said it came with all the options. Does it have the hardtop? If not, I have your hardtop in my garage. Unfortunately I have promised it to TriumphGT6 so I can't sell it to you even if you do need it.
Where are you from? I suggest you include your home town in your profile so that Forum members who live nereby can get together with you for projects, cruises etc.
Edit: Doh! Columbia, SC. I still suggest that everyone put their hometown or area (such as Northern Ca) in their avatar.
