Default Back In The Game
It's been about 3 years since I sold my last vette. I had 2, a 96 red vert and a 00 yellow vert. About 6 months ago the bug hit me again and I began my search. I wanted an 08 C6 Z06 but was not willing to pay that much for a weekend toy so I searched for a low milage C5 Z06. Took a while but I found a 04 Z06 with under 20,000 miles. 1 owner and carfax checked out OK. So depending on how long it takes for shipping should be back in a vette within 2 - 3 weeks. Pictures to follow.
