Just found this on the auction site 350245961356. Is this the same car? Seats are different and engine compartment is different but the stereo is the same.
nice looking car. I like the black top and black wheels.

SAd to see it go hope you stick with vettes. IMO the 2007 pic with chrome ccw`s was the best it ever looked, not that it ever looked bad.

David,

Glad to have a few of Slik's goodies on my car. It was a beautiful ride and even though it is sad to move on, your new project will shine with your good taste again. Good luck and stay in touch.
