Default My First Vette

It's a 2003 Coupe, dual roof panels, and it thinks its a Z06 (fender badges and such). Therefore it has a 6spd as well. Evidently it's had some substantial modifications done, but I must admit to not knowing enough about these cars (YET!) to be able to tell from just looking at it, and I don't trust what the stealer told me.

Paid $22k, 56k miles. I'll link up some pics, including one of the engine bay. If anyone can help me with what's been done specifically, please let me know; if you need additional pics, I can upload them later today, just give me specific instructions on what to take a picture/video of.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I love this car!!

Welcome and congrats! Sorry, but your car is not a Z06. Someone has just put the badges, side scoops, and other Z06 items on a coupe
