Good move...good deal...good God...congrads...

 

My car just hit 135,000 But hopefully when I graduate college... again... I'll be taking care of every little part there is.

Congrats on the C5, hopefully one day I'll snag one of those as well, but I'll still have the C4 :p:

 

Neil, congratulations on both the sale of your '93 (had to be hard to say goodbye to it) and the purchase of your Z06. Good luck, hope to see you around in the C4 section sometime!

 

Thank you all. I will continue to come in here from time to time to check up on all of you.

I found out some great news about my 93. The dealership has someone that is interested in buying it, so maybe it won't go off to the auction block to be picked up by someone who doesn't care about Corvettes. I told the salesperson that if he sells it that the new owner is more than welcome to call me and I will go over everything I have done to the car. Of course, I would hate to be the one to tell him that the water pump has about 20,000 miles before it is going to start to leak, the chassis computer module is going out and all 4 wheel bearings are going to need to be replaced soon. It was hard to let it go. Even sitting in the Z06 as I got ready to leave the dealership, I had a tear in my eye as I looked in the rear view mirror and saw my C4. I had a lot of bood, sweat and tears into that Vette. I can only hope that the next owner appeciates that car as much as I still do!

 

Talk to me about some of the parts you have for sale.

I'm interested in the SS Brake Lines, Poly Bushings, and Bias Spring.

 

Good luck Neil. Thanks for all your help! The C5 (Z06) guys are lucky to have you coming over!

I'm with Mojo; instead of spending $3000 to get the C4 in excellent shape, you'll drop $25,000 (don't forget the interest on your 5-year loan...) for a C5.
Ha!
Who you kiddin'....you WANTED that Z06!!! (and who among us can really blame you)
Good choice of replacement wheels, I must say.

For that price I sure don't blame you for picking one up. Once the used Z06 market hits the $20,000 level, I may start getting tempted myself
Good Luck with the new toy!

 

We might be able to work something out on the Z06 Brakes there Whitevette!!! Give me a IM if you wanna sell em!

For all the smartazzes I'm not talking about the ones off your new car

 

I will be going through my garage on Sunday (earlier if I can) to get a list of all the parts I still have for my C4 that I will be selling. Some of you have already posted interest in some of the parts I was going to put on that I did not put on. I have made a list of all of you and your interest and when I have the list together, I am going to give those people first crack at purchasing these parts. If that person decides that they do not want it, then I will add it to the list for the general public when I post the items for sale on the C4 Parts For Sale section. I have already told TobiJohn that he has first crack on everything. He lives nearby me and helped me work on my Vette, so he deserves this first consideration. After that, I have the following people for the following items:
JrRifleCoach: Targa Cover interest
Glasman66: Rims/Tires interest
Nathan Plemons: SS Hoses, Poly Bushings, Bias Spring interest
VictorRussel92: C5 Brake Conversion Front Kit interest
I have not come up with prices other than for JrRifleCoach and Glasman66. Nathan and Victor, when I come up with prices, I will let you both know first. I think this is a pretty fair way to do it.

Mr. Mojo, yes, you are right. I could have spent the money on the 93, but with 167,000 miles on it, it was time to look around, as I don't know what else would be going (engine developed a decent leak recently). For me, it was the right time to replace it and what better to replace it with than a Z06.

Thanks again everyone, and I will still stop by to share my knowledge of the C4 (granted there are a lot of guys here who know more than I could ever hope about knowing, but I will still share my experiences).

 

What about me I made the 2nd post in this thread

 

You didn't specify what you were looking for, like the others. I will give you an early heads up as well. OK.

 

you have probably been itching for something new to drive..I can't blame you when it all falls in place....at least it's still a vette!

 

Excellent. Thank you for trying to keep everyone happy whitevette.

 

ok, let me know on the poly bushings and ss brake lines

 

Just a note to everyone:

My user name has changed from Whitvette to QuikZilver. This way you can still find me.

I am currently compiling a list from memory as to what I have in my garage. As soon as I have it all put together, I'll email it to everyone who has posted here. I have listed in order those who wanted specific parts for first consideration. After all of you have gone through the list, I'll post the remaining parts on the Parts Section. Thanks!

 

Those of you who posted an interest in parts above this post, I have a list of parts complied. Please email me by Saturday at ncsimon@bellsouth.net and I will send this list to you. Please include your screen name in the email, so I can verify that you posted in this string before this post. To all others, parts that are not sold to these members will be going on the C4 Parts For Sale Section on Monday. Thank you everyone for all of your help.

 

Congrats on the new ride

 

Here is a picture of my new ride (see signature).
