Problem is I don't think I'm a mod guy... My 71' Buick GS was all original and I felt as if I was the caretaker. No 6 x 9 speakers cut in the rear deck, not holes punched on the door panels, no dashboard hacking to fit a modern stereo...

If I do anything to this car car the word to follow is discrete...

Wow, what a nice car and congrats to you. It looks like it has aftermarket exhaust tips if not axle backs. FYI, the thrill of driving your Vette won't diminish!

Incidentally, I bought a low mileage used 2002 with only 9K miles on it and I felt exactly the same. That was back in 2003, so it's not such a great find as yours...good luck.

Do you know what the best thing about the beautiful MY color? when you walk out of the market, look over the sea of ho hum non descript cars and colors(unless you spot another vette in the parking lot), you will see yours within seconds and say, yep, that one is mine! its been 3 years for me and the feeling is still the same.
Welcome and congrats! And this is the best forum with the most knowledgeable, intelligent members bar none.
