Great choice!

The pictures look like it is in great condition.

I had two '94 6 speeds and loved them. I currently have a dark red '95 6 speed that looks very close to yours.

Congrats, great color/spec and looks very clean! I think we were both looking for similar cars at similar times in the "for sale" section of the forum.

Coincidentally, I bought my car in Omaha and drove it back to Washington earlier this year. Enjoy the trip, best way to buy a car IMO!

Bigredbrad contacted me last week on this car he owned. He was the one who sold the 93 BRM to another buyer and I was going to buy that BRM 93 until seller sold it to someone else.

Brad is a great guy and he trailered the 94 400 miles each way to OKC. Brad never listed the 94 anywhere.

I am so happy with this very mint 94. It worked out for both of us as he us getting his dream C3. Ill let Brad chime in on the C3.

Now going to start making a list of C4 items I need to get.

Thanks to all.

The internet has introduced me to so many great Corvette friends and Corvette Forum did not let me down again. I saw Manny searching for a C4 in the for sale section and although we were a little far from each other, we worked out a way to both get halfway and meet in person in Oklahoma.

It was a pleasure to meet @Topduarte in person Manny, and I'm so glad to know my 94 DRM is in good hands with you!

I have had a blast owning the 1994 and it has taken me to so many great Corvette events in 2022. Last month I was able to buy one of my "bucket list" corvettes and I really needed to make room for it in the garage so unfortunately the 1994 needed to find a new home. I'm excited about this 1978 Corvette Pace Car that I purchased from the original owner who was also the original Chevrolet dealer that ordered it brand new in 1977. I have always wanted a 1978PC but have never found the "right one" until this one came along and I'm proud to be its next caretaker. I am passionate about NCRS and having cars judged thru the system. I have a 1981 L81 and 1979 L82 that I have earned both the NCRS Bowtie and NCRS McLellan awards and hope to do the same with this 78PC in the future.

Congrats on your new 1994 Manny I know you will enjoy it as much as I have and it was great to make another Corvette friend!

Like the Pace Car Brad.

Well replaced the filter with a new wix from O'Reilly's. Ordered CAGS delete from Amazon today and now searching for bulbs for the sun visors.

It has an aftermarket Pioneer stereo but thinking of going back to stock with original Delco cassette player.

Here are a few pics from this afternoon and last night.

Is the rear hatch glass tinted? And if so did it lose points in the judging because of it?

It is tinted but not sure if it lost points. Previous owner is mailing me the judging sheets as he forgot to bring them on the trip.
