Hello people! I am new to the forum and the vette world. I purchased a 1986 auto, targa a few months ago and am very pleased!! My vette is pretty much all stock with the exception of long tubes headers, magnaflow catback and silver zr1's. Can't wait to start the mods!!

Sounds like a nice find! I'll save you some flaming post and go ahead and recommend you fill out your profile (year, mods, etc) for future posts.

This thread is worthless without pics!

Thanks guys! It is a really fun car. It still needs a bit of work, but nothing major. First on the list is the weatherstrip for the doors and hatch.
