Default I finally did it!!! Pics posted...kinda

After 2 years of slinking around this forum and trying to respectfully educate myself; I finally pulled the trigger on my first Vette. I closed the deal on a Black '03 50th Ann Z06 with mod red int. 39K miles for $22,900. I purchased it from Fine Cars USA in Florida. They seemed reputable, had good feedback, very professional, and gave me a money back gaurantee if I didnt like the car once I got it. The car looks clean as a whistle, good carfax history...oh yea did I mention it had mod red interior. I hope I did good and can't wait till it gets here. Car is completely stock except for chrome Z wheels. The winters are long here in MN...so let the mods begin.

Rick

This is the ebay link of the car...the only pics I got right now. :o

I like your post PAZ06...I planned on maybe doing some little cosmetic mods such as...shorty antenna, floor mats, maybe lower the car on stock bolts and throw on a front spoiler for good measure. Any other ideas or opinions let me know...

CONGRATS! What, couldn't decide between the 2001 Ferrari 360 Modena Coupe or the 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena Coupe? Turns out you made the RIGHT choice!
