Congratulations on the "new" car and welcome to the best Forum on the 'Net!

It's a pity for the previous owner that he never got to really enjoy the car, and made it a garage queen. Put some miles on it, mod it, pamper it, but most of all - ENJOY IT!

Yeh, that few miles - must be something wrong with it - from lack of use. Better start on the mods!!!!!

Enjoy the ride - it was worth the wait!

Congrats on your purchase.
I waited decades for my first Vette purchased in 04 and I haven't been disappointed. The forum is a great resource. If I had used it before my purchase I know I could have saved some $s on the price I paid for the Vette. But, anyway I'm loving the ride. Enjoy.
