Default Got the call!

I received a call from Shane at the museum today. Going to do the museum delivery on March 25. Thanks to Rick Conti for helping make this happen. If we would not have been able to take delivery on this day, we would have had to wait until summer. This will be my first vette after falling in love with them over 50 years ago. TR, A6, NPP, Nav, red calipers, 2LT, chrome wheels. Going to drive to Ohio and have Coughlin put on the Z-51 spoiler before we start our trip back home to Oregon. Gonna be a long 4 week wait!

Congratulations on your new C7. You are correct, Rick Conti is the man. I am scheduled for Museum delivery on March 7th. What Rick said, Rick did.
