Thanks all..

We drove my 85 4K miles from Cincy to Vegas and back some time ago, and she loved Corvettes ever since. She reads CF with me sometimes, and has been flirting with the idea of buying one for some time.

There was a yellow one in Cincy she saw on a dealer ad when I was browsing Craigslist on Wednesday. She called about it, and they told her they were selling it right at that moment. She was very disappointed, so we found this one in Indy and she wanted to go see it. As soon as she drove it, I knew she would buy it.

Price was 6550.

I am glad you are happy. You are always so generous with your time answering all those transmission questions. I have seen you answer the same question many times but it always seems like the first time to the OP.

Some more dealer pics..

The Mrs. is a very practical, frugal chick.. Excellent in every way. She doesn't spend a lot on herself, so she wants to splurge on a Corvette, she's certainly earned the privilege to do that.

She said: "Well, I don't really need it.. "

Which I pointed out pretty much ends any discussion of 2 seat sports cars.. Because nobody "needs" one.

"Want" one is a different matter entirely, and that takes us into Corvette territory.

Nice looking car. She won't want to be taking that jankey-azz 85 on any more road trips now that this car is in the fleet. Seems like a reasonable price. How many miles are indicated?
Cheers.
Right at 100K.. But it runs like a brand new car.

It's perfect in that respect.
