Default Needed a third Vette

Bought a '18 Grand Sport 2LT Admiral Blue this past weekend. Hope the '77 and '93 don't get jealous as they all currently live in the same garage for now until the '77 finds a new home. Looking forward to discussing the car more in detail as I get familiar with it and post updates on mechanical items on my YouTube channel Ozzstar.

Couldn't get the pics to rotate properly, sorry. :-(

Join the crowd, its a disease. I have 4 in my garage, a 63 convertible 327 340 hp 4 speed, a 1981 coupe, 350 auto, a 17 Z06 and a 17 Z51. The 63 and the 81 are up for sale but I'm not trying real hard to sell them.

I ordered GM red fender hashmarks and planning on applying them after I do a serious polishing on the car. That's about the only decals I plan on adding. There are plenty of dealership swirls/scratches that need to be corrected. My polishing jobs are a 5 part prcoess and usually takes about 9 hours to do a car this size. I'll probably post the fender decal install on my YTube channel in the near future.

Enjoy your ride! -Glen
