Default Finally did it!!!

After searching for a few YEARS and debating with myself for about a year, I got one last Saturday. 99 NB FRC, 40K for under $20K. Previous owner is seriously looking at the C6 and this one serves as the potential down payment.

Will take pics this weekend if weather cooperates.


Still have 86 Z51 and 67 427 cp, both manual trans.

Boy, is this great!!!
