Thanks,

Nice!

I actually saw tim advertise that exact car and it got me thinking of another C6 instead of the C7. You have the best of the whole C6 generation, big block, 6 speed, widebody, best looking wheels, best seats, etc. Enjoy my friend.

I know how you feel. You have the best of both worlds. A rag top and the beast within. Black is a labor of love but worth 15 -30 minutes of my evenings while the wife watches the Sox game.

Too funny! Keeping a black car clean is tough but also therapeutic!

Yeah, but when it's clean, it looks really good.

Many great memories in a wonderful car.
But I could not resist the lure of the things that are so appealing to me in a corvette all in one beautiful package:
1) Wide body of Z06
2) LS7
3) Ragtop

4) Manual six speed transmission

When I saw the prices on these cars, I could not resist.
I hemmed and hawed and in the end it was my wife that encouraged me to pull the trigger.
So this past Sunday afternoon the Intercity Lines truck pulled up in front of my home and delivered my new tripleblack... a 2013 427.

Thanks to Tim Boone at Boardwalk Chevrolet. Unbelievable prices and great guy to do business with.
There were no surprises. All was as Tim advertised.

Thanks to Jim at Intercity Lines. Very personable and a pleasure to do business with. Jim, kudos to you for having Andy as one of your drivers. Great guy. Very patient and careful with my baby. Delivered safe and sound with 10 miles on the odometer.
I highly recommend Intercity if you need a car transported.
I have taken two small cruises in the car and am looking forward to many years of enjoyment.

Now for the obligatory pics!

I'd been waiting for this truck


Andy at work...

It's alive!!

Love this..

Big meats in the back..
Thank you again. I know you will love the car. I still love mine too. One of the best corvettes yet.

I've never been into the Corvette convertible look. But, that is a killer car and an awesome execution of "triple black". Just amazing!
