Default Hello from Leland, NC

The wife decided the 2013 Volvo C70 I got her for our 15th anniversary wasn't doing it for her and said she needed a 2 seat convertible. She had a ‘77 Vette before I met her so I thought a Vette would be the best way to go. That was a good call! I’m having as much fun in the new to us Vette as she is! We found a really nice 2004 Vert in Atlanta and drove over there to see it. She fell in love with it right away and we brought it home. The car had just under 28,000 miles on it. The mods included a Vararam CAI and catback exhaust.

I've already done a lot of lurking on this site and have learned a lot in a short period of time. Thanks to Dennis at Double D we are getting ready to upgrade the radio to a single DIN Alpine stereo with Sirius. Thanks to some suggestions from MARKCZ, I am going to try to do the install myself.

Sorry the pics I have are all with the top up. I will post some pics with the top down (of the car…LOL) when I take some more.

Cheers, JACK B
