First vette, 91 coupe, big fan already - ready to start writing checks.....new seat covers to start......
Runs great, 99% of accessories work - seems like a pretty good percentage for a car this old - only 80k miles, so that helps.
I'm in the Phoenix area, anyone recommend a good mechanic? I travel to the LA area frequently, and would use someone there if highly trusted, but prefer to stay local. Just anticipating future needs - not a mechanic, so......seems like someone with expertise would be better than a random choice. I've heard that sometimes a Chevy dealer is good, though almost always more expensive. Any opinions there?
Any help appreciated - pretty happy with my new personal road rocket!

Congrats on your first vette! You know it's mandatory for you to post pictures!
I'm sure they are some good mechanics around your area. Get with your local Corvette Club and see who they recommend

I like your 'Vette! White just looks so good on these cars, especially the late C4 body style. You will find out that often, you'll have the only late white C4 on the road, I rarely see them.

Nice car, and I rarely see other white ones.Avoid dealerships for service. Find a place that knows older vettes.
Don't forget to wave!

You might want to check the Regional/Events section of this Forum. Post up your question there and you will get lots of info and probably be able to hook up with some other Corvette nuts.

Congrats and welcome to the forum.
I finished the interior work on my white 92 a couple months ago. Now for the exterior. White is classy, especially with red interior.
