Default New purchase


Purchased this beautiful 2019 Grand Sport from Vettesick. Dan Chandler from Katech is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I spent this last week in Michigan spending time with Dan working out the purchase and even got to tour Katech and see where all the Magic happens.

Dan is one of the good guys, someone who I have grown to trust and I learned so much from in one short week.

If you ever get the chance to meet Dan in person you will know what I mean. His love of everything about cars is clearly evident, his honesty and attention to detail was the cornerstone of our deal. If or when I decide to do some modifications the car will go to one place only. Back to Dan and the professionals at Katech.

Thanks again Dan for allowing me to purchase this car and get to know you.

Beautiful car! You’ll get a lot of attention. I had a red 2013 Corvette and got plenty of compliments. Mine was manual. Is yours?
