Word! Appreciate the props. Your car is in my top five here. Love what you have done with it. Silver ZR1's on that white is spot on.

Peace.

Beautiful early C4 and one of the nicest I've seen. I love the color and attention to detail, that makes it look great, without going over the top!

Thanks for sharing your story and car!

PS: Welcome back to C4'dom

Love it. Can't wait to wake it up with some TPIS Long Tubes/Y Pipe and a Magnaflow Hi Flow Cat!

Peace.

You would be fine if you want to drive it. Put in some high torque brake pads and pedal effort will be minimal. Wheelchair will fit in the passenger seat or in the hatch whichever you wish. Hand control works good on the drivers side.

Forgot to mention. The PO acquired a build sheet from NCM. The date at the top, which I think is the date the build order is placed and not necessarily it's completion, is June 30, 1986. We all know the Corvette's birthday right? June 30th, 1953. I thought that was cool anyway. Car is a late 86 with the aluminum heads.
Here is a pic showing the L98. She's definately clean. Couldn't get my cash out fast enough after I saw her. And no it wasn't very much cash. A lot of desperate people here in Vegas.



Peace.

Some cool video and I'm guessing that was you on the track running with a bunch of C6s. I watched about twenty minutes before I knew it and really enjoyed it. I've never had the chance to run a track like that but it looks like it would be a blast.

If you want to it's pretty easy to get on track. Find a close track, trackpedia.com has a list, then pick a club. It is a lot of fun!!!
