Cant Wait, Just bought!
Its a long story, but after 3 months, I finally bought the following car. This all started when 3 months ago I started researching building a 69 pro-touring camaro. After much debate, I decided against spending 50k for a "project" that would just take time away from my kids.
Somehow, I came across a used z06 and realized I could have a long time dream for half the cost of the camaro project. Having grown up with my grandpa and uncle owning the local Chevy dealership, Ive always loved vettes.
I just won the car on ebay tonight. I almost hate putting that... but I think I did my homework and talked to the seller often. Its more like it was just a normal deal, not ebay. Jeremy at horsepower sales in south florida has been great to deal with. Thanks Jeremy (ps, need reliable transporter from Florida to New Mexico)
I would love to hear your thoughts and input. I have already met some amazingly friendly people and feel very welcome on this site. Thanks!
