Default First Corvette
I finally found my car after a six month search. 2007, 3lt, Z51, automatic with 25,000 miles. I want to thank you all for the wealth of information that I have gained over the last couple of months here. This is my first stop whenever I am on line now and you all have been a huge help. This car is in perfect condition with a new battery and new tires and two roof panels. The previous owner is a 72 year old guy who just took Museum delivery of his new C7. The harmonic balancer is wobbling and chirping but because of this forum I knew that this was not a deal breaker and already have an appointment to get a new aftermarket HB installed this week. That is it for me. Off to take my wife out for a Sunday drive. Thank you all. Tony

Congratulation on your new Corvette. I am sure you will enjoy it. By the way, nice color.

My 2007 3LT Z51 A6, 16,000 miles. Got love the Monterey Red Metallic, 2007 was the last year for this color.
