My first Corvette
Were do I start, I have always wanted a new corvette but little things like getting married, rasing three children and putting them through college always seemed to take priority. Well I recently took an early retirment and moved back to Palm Harbor Florida. I spent a couple of months searching for the right car. I my now the proud owner of a 2005 Orange C6 Z51 coupe. The car is everything that I wanted. I spend most of my time tinkering and polishing it. I also have a very big advantage, my son in law and his father are the owners of Van Steel Corvettes in Pinellas Park, Florida they manufacture replacement suspenion and brakes parts for all corvettes from 1953 to present.
