Welcome. I had an 85 for 10 years loved it. I now have an 04 and love it too. This time it's my daily driver! So I have a smile by the time I get to work, and a smile by the time I get home. Now, how cool is that?

Yes a pic is a must.
BTW isn't the Gold Vettes something of a rarity? I forget how many were made, but the number is VERY low. I was reading an article one time that the reason there were not that many of them is becuase GM had problems getting the colors to match up between panels and actually disassembled them at the plant to mix and match between the cars in order to find the best matching panels to make a car. Anyone else know anything about this?

NOW SHOW US SOME PICS PLEASE
