Wow...she's a beauty! I'll bet she has been lonely though with only 812 miles on her. If I were you I would rectify that problem immediately...nothing worse than an underdriven, overly spoiled Vette. They must be driven regularly to keep them in line and show them who is boss! .........I know, I know....the car is boss and mine is spoiled too!

Enjoy!

Awesome, congrats Jay! Looks like the extra time you took looking for a perfect example really paid off, you got what you were looking for and then some! Nikki and I will have to come up and check it out after you get it. Lots of luck with it.

It was very nice of the first owner to buy it, take the depreciation hit and then sell you a brand new car! Enjoy it!
