Default I have 1999 Corvette

Nice find! I have 1999 Corvette candy red has 54k love it.. I lived in fort Lauderdale for 10 years moved back to NY 3 years ago. I be very careful with other drivers there ! They have turn signals for decorations and they are bad drivers. If u need know anything about your car send me message .. I be happy help you. Get the service manuals later if u need it could be expensive .. they sometimes show up on eBay at good price. I upgrade a few things .. the headlight gear mod easy fix get brass gear replacement for motor. I installed python alarm system .. surround dvr cameras and voice alarm .. NY is not joke have to be covered here .. enjoy your car it's beauty I attaching pics of mine ..
