I was was hoping to hear from the alleged expert though.
You bought your car from DC Motorcars in Anaheim?

You got the full remaining factory Chevy warranty or do you lose the powertrain coverage since its a Ron Fellows car. Im assuming you are the first owner since the car was never registered before.

I am the first registered owner of the car. The power-train, suspension, and brake system warranties are all flagged and have significant limitations (or total blocks). I was made fully aware of this before purchase. I wasn't too worried about the power-train as I knew the car would be modded and the warranty invalidated. The other two took some internal debate, but it's a Chevy so...

The rest of the bumper to bumper coverage is intact (and I've actually had a couple of things fixed under that warranty without issue already). I am led to believe covered service (oil changes, etc) is still included.

Tire mod, they do not use cup 2 tires. Only MPSS.

Car came with CUP 2's from Spring Mountain. They were definitely used, and looked to be consistent with the 2,200 miles on the ODO.



Photo of the car on day of delivery to me. Sorry for the fuzziness, it's a blow up from an overview shot.

Original tires on the car as it came from Spring Mountain (plus some screws courtesy of the cabinet shop next to my office...).
