Very Nice, and congradulations, I have never seen one with the extra lights under the 4 in the rear, that must be canadian regulations I'm guessing. Very nice, and good job on the working your azz off and saving to get a Corvette

Good for you and nice you took care of buying it yourself.
On the other hand, $11,000 Canadian is, Like, $1.92 US, right?

j/k you'll have a great time, congrats!

Great looking vette, congrats

WHat a great ride....your going to have a lot of fun.......drive safe

(never seen the extra indicator lights below the tail lights - an export canadian thing? that would have saved alot of us aussies the hassel of replacing our tail lights with two amber coloured lights and changing the wiring just to suit our road laws!)

Why do you have 84-89 corvette in one pic with the whole interior shot with the targa off LOL(did a makeover?)Those paddle mirrors and reflector decives that sit on the bottom of the rear lamps intresting are to. I assume thats what canadian vettes had for standard equipment? Nice Vette, welcome to the obsession and congrats. Make sure you wave. Take care.

Do I see correctly, there's also a yellow light on the side of the car that was added. Did this car made a trip to europe, or the previous owner had the bizarre idea of trying to add a european flair to a vette???
