FINALLY - First Vette
My first Vette...
The truck arrives in Michigan from Sarasota
Just off the truck to find out the water pump is leaking
In her new home before the snow started (you can see the snow just starting outside)
Hmmmm....how much trouble can this cause me? (Not the original 350/350 from Jasper)
Interior shot while still in Florida
Back home tonight off the flat bed after havig the water pump and a front caliper replaced.
Despite the dealer in Florida being less than truthful about this being an original yellow car and the mileage that was on it, I'm still excited.

Welcome to the Forum!!!
That's a beautiful 'Vette. That Freightliner Argosy that delivered your car is exactly the same model I drive everyday,too funny and deja vu.

That is a beauty!! Congratulations on your first Vette and welcome to the forums!
If that is a '77 (suspect it is because of the flags on the fender and nose), it's a very early '77 car with the alarm key in the fender.
