Hello my name is Jim. I am a new member from Santa Rosa California. I presently own two Corvettes, a '58 fulie, snow crest white with inca silver coves and red interior and a matching 2008 convertible which I bought for my 50th birthday. After 4 years the '58 is now fully restored and I look forward to being finally be able to show it.
I just ordered a 2016 Z51 convertible, black with a kalihari 3LT interior and my wife and I are exited to be taking delivery of the new car hopefully in May. I will be selling the '08 and was somewhat sad to be breaking up the matching pair but a good friend of mine is buying the car so it will still sorta be in the family.
