Default C6 Replacement

Gotta tell you I loved the C6 , but my wife didnt..We have restored a number of these , and she is much happier with the roof off,dog in back ,not worrying about parking scratches ect..ect..
So I had this shipped in from Montana and we will do it up over the winter....

I wouldn't exactly call that a "C6 replacement". You do know it is legal to own more than one automobile right?

Good point, this is the OTHER Chevy that shares the garage with my C6:



The ten-year-old beater 4-door sedan (not a Chevy) lives outdoors so the deserving vehicles have a nicer home.

I know what you mean. My wife was unhappy with our house, so we moved into this great cardboard box that just needs a little work.
