I just picked this up on saturday wanted to share it with everyone.I have been looking for a corvette for about 3 months and finally found this laying around in southern California. I got vette fever bad and already looking for exhaust and a supercharger. If anyone has B&B exhaust in so-cal and can let me check it out please let me know.
Thanks for all your help everyone
