Default New Vette

Long time reader and first time poster. Just picked up a beautiful 1992 coupe! Dark Metallic Red with black interior. It's a 6spd and pretty well loaded in fantastic condition (29k miles).

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the forum for all the great information to help guide me through the purchase process (what to look for, prices to pay, etc).

This is my second vette. I had a 1977 L-82 that I had to sell to go back to graduate school many years ago and have been wanting another one ever since.

Welcome! It's nice to see some new members. It seems like with all the people selling their C4's we lose more members than we gain.

Sounds like a good one! We need to see some pictures of her. Welcome from a fellow Michigander and (once again with high hopes) Detroit Lions fan!
