Default Got my Corvette! *PICS*

1999 Coupe, Electron Blue, 75,000 miles. Yes, I know Electron Blue was not offered in 99, but it was repainted! As soon as PayPal will let my funds transfer, I'm ordering the RUFF 278's in Hyperblack!

Thanks guys. It's needs some TLC, but I got it for a hell of a deal! Need to put some shocks on it, and the rear whines a little. Also, when I was driving and pulled over at the gas station, I felt the back driver side tire and it was warm, but the passenger side was HOT. Don't know if maybe it needs aligned or what. Any thoughts on that?

Promise. It's darker than what the pics show, I don't have an expensive digital camera to capture the color. I have a friend that has a $$$$$$ camera, and after the wheels are in, and car is lowered, we are doing a full photo shoot.

Here is a little better pic, but it still doesn't show how dark it is really.
