I just bought my first Corvette. I have wanted one since before I was in high school. The lines were just incredible. I graduated in 86 and loved the 86 pace car. I just knew one day I would have one. 21 years later and I bought one. It is a 1987 white coupe with tan leather interior. Since I live in Steamboat Springs Colorado it has been sitting in my garage for 2 weeks. We have had over 40 feet of snow this year. So I have been busy cleaning, claying, and polishing anything I can. When that car showed up on the truck I was more excited than I can remember. It is a great feeling to own something you have always wanted. The anticipation was incredible. I'm almost done cleaning and would love to show some pics of the car, if someone would tell me how to do it. My cars new name is White Cloud.

Similar to me. Same graduation year, loved the '86 Pace Car. Owned several early C4s and have had my '87 roadster since '89 (yellow of course ).

You will love the car, the lifestyle, this forum, and the extensive options for mods. You won't like the empty pocketbook if you go heavy into the mod arena.

Post up those pics of the '87.
