Welcome aboard!! :)
A little advice for you, if you can try for an 88+ Corvette when you look to buy. They have slightly better heads, a new headlight system, newer brakes, 17" wheels, and a quite a few other small things that add up to a nicer car overall. I love my '87 to death, but every now and then the 88+ differences make me wish I got one year newer. :D

Re: Hey guys (bogus)
Well i want the 6 spd really bad, but they are out of my price range the price jumps for them, well from what i see, i know the 88 have the bigger wheels and that, just need some help finding one cheap enough, but thanks guys, and i heard a Z51 is almost a must also, is this true, how much better is it?

Hi Kevin!
I know you want a vette badly but like others have said be patient, look hard and find the most car, and in the best shape that you can. Try to locate a Vette with a few basic mods ( K&N Open lid, exaust, Etc: and you will save alot of bucks for other things. :yesnod:
And be sure to check here before doing anything!!! We take care of our own!!! :D
