Default 1993 Corvette

I will be picking up a 1993 Corvette this week. I will posting pictures soon. 6-speed, Black rose, grey Interior, two tops, sport seats, 86,000 miles. Needs two front tires(Dry rot) weather stripping, and a few other misc items. $7500.
I haven't owned a corvette since 1994 when I had a 1971 stingray!

It's great to be back! I had a couple of Ls1 Camaro's that I had to sell for one reason or another.
I started to look for a car and thought why not a Corvette again. I've been searching for about a year or so and this car keep popping up, so I think it was meant to be.

Welcome back. Enjoy! I still love the styling.

Great to see another new 1993 6-speed owner on the forum. We've had ours a few months now and it's been a great purchase that has brought my daughters, parents, and myself closer together as we wrench on it as a family.

It has to be a 6-speed! I am also looking to get the family involved.
I loved going to car shows when I had my 71.

Yes, the owner is in Miller Place. I told him it would only take an a hour of his time, but he is on the road (truck driver).
