Default Hello from Atlanta!

Hi guys. I just got back about 20 minutes ago from picking up my new (to me) vette!

I'm very excited to have it. I've wanted one for about 10 years now and finally got tired of people telling me not to buy one.

The car's an 07 in red (victory red I think? still learning here..) the dealer told me it was a factory delivery car. Shouldn't there be a plaque or something to confirm this?

it has 12k miles on it as of right now. It's an auto, mostly a "base model" in that there's no hud, nav, homelink, auto dim mirror, or heated seats but I love it anyway. I plan to daily drive it, but I have no plans to abuse it. I'm always meticulous about taking care of the cars I care about.

I'll have some pics tomorrow. Suffice for this teaser

Thanks everyone.

Yea, that's a 57 belair 4 door that was given to me for highschool graduation by my uncle. It's no show queen, but it does run and I often take it out to the grocery store down the road for exercise (when I get groceries lol.)

I've never really said I'm a "gm guy" but in the past 10 years I've only owned 2 things that weren't and only liked 1 of those 2 lol.

I'll have more pics of my "babies" up soon.

Welcome to the Forum

If it was a Corvette Museum Delivery Car there should be a plaque and a Gold Museum Sticker on the driver door near where the air pressure plaque would be. As far as I know, the factory only sends them to the dealers or the Museum.
