Default Bought a 99 vert yesterday
It's 100% stock and only had 35k miles. No paint work, a few minor rock chips from normal driving, the interior still looks new. Still even has the chrome wagon wheels (not for long)!

Washed and waxed it today. I can tell keeping a black car clean will be a beeeeotch!

Looks like a good one - just don't sell it like you've done with your other two.

Congrats on the great find! Enjoy it and have fun with the swirls!

Ahh, there are quite a few great products out there to get rid of the swirls; cleaning the Vette is half the fun!

Yes Black is a pain, but as we all know. When clean, NOTHING looks better then black.
