It Begins
Delivered the 96 C/E this morning. Looks good. The flatbed driver took extra care unloading it. Sounds good too (Corsa). I'll be off to Motor Vehicles in a few to take care of title and registration.
Car is in the garage and a good thing too because the ignition cylinder will not fully go into the lock position to release the key. Played with the auto shifter and it appears to be the source of the issue. I'll bet there is an adjustment issue. Hope it's not too protracted to correct.

C-4guy,
Have yet to take pictures. It needs cleaning both exterior and interior and fluid flushes.
I do have some pics from the CARCHEX inspection prior to purchase. I'll try posting a few tomorrow.

BTW issue with ignition key was shifter(auto) button needed cleaning. Never fully released when in park. That and me being blind. I went past lock position to acc. Just a little too excited with the new toy.

c4-guy,
I created an album containing three pics. Check my profile.
Don't know how to imbed a pic in a post.
96 Vette CE,
That's it, exactly like mine.
Took it out this morning to get the feel of it, fill it up and check it out a little. I could get to like this. Just cleaned the carpeted mats, they came out nice. Can't wait to get the extraction vac to the rest of the carpet. That will freshen up the interior.
