After waiting 5 months I took delivery at the museum on Dec 3 now Vin # 4795 is finally home in central NY and we get ****ing SNOW. Did get to drive her for 2 days in BG. Car is everything I expected and more. I would highly recommend taking delivery there to someone especially if it's their 1st vett as it was for me. So now I wait another 5 months to take her back out.

One of the many reasons I moved from Western Mass to Florida.
Got tied of looking at it for 6 months every year and not being able to drive it. What a waste of good Vette time.
Springs coming for you Northeners. Well in about 5 months!

I want my click back.
Why? Because now I want one in that color combination, except I want chrome wheels.
Congratulations!

Congrats on the new ride, and the weather's exactly the reason I'm trying to be patient and waiting to do a museum delivery in May.

Beautiful, I don't usually like the black wheel look but on a CRM I think I would have a hard time deciding on chrome or black. Congrats.

Greetings from Auburn. I feel your pain. Mine has 700 miles, and 330 was driving it home from the dealer. Had it out for a short run this past Saturday.

It is sitting in the storage box now.
