Default 1998 Corvette PICS

Here are some pic's of the car I bought last month. It is the nicest looking Vett I came across in my area (Buffalo, N.Y.). I sold my 05 Mustang GT to buy it but I have no regrets.

I hate to have to put it away for 5 months.

Very nice. While she's sleeping for the winter you can research and prioritize you mod to-do list.

Not the biggest fan of TR(flame suit on ) but that is one sweet looking coupe. Nicely modded, and clean. Overall opinion, you got one fine looking vette.

Oh yeah, someone had to say it......take the plastic looking louvered stuff off the back. Detracts from the look of a beautiful car.

Easy, it just isn't my personal fave. Besides, I didn't say I DIDN'T like it, just that I'm not the biggest fan of TR. If red is your color, it's hard to beat TR......unless you happen to have Medium Pewter Metallicor Speedway White.
