Was offered a trade.....
I went out to get lunch, and passed by a used car dealership with an 85 and an 85 vette. I went and checked them out, both were manual. The owner of the dealership came out, and we started talking. Then he offers to trade straight across for either of the 2, the 85 had 168,000 miles on it and the 86 had 73,000 miles on it. I was debating it but couldn't do it, I found out that I am too attached to mine. I was thinking about financing the 86 though.

That is another reason that I kept mine, I would have no longer had the only orange c4. That I have seen atleast.

Ive seen another one on the 10 freeway, but it was more of a sunset color. Very nice. I like yours too though. Im not sure what year it was because it had the black side rail, but it also had the square rear tail lights.

Aren't you the guy who was looking into changing an auto trans to a manual? This could be the cheapest, easiest way to go, but then again, I like your orange corvette. :seeya
