Finally back in a Vette
I just purchased a 1996 Collectors Edition vert, the car has 67,000 miles on it and is in very nice shape.
My first Vette was a 1975 L48 auto that I did a complete frame on restoration on it. I had it 20 years ago and loved the car.
Had a few other Makes of sport cars and muscle cars but saw this '96 and it was all over.
Got a few bugs to work out mostly the selective ride but overall happy!

This was my 1975. Pictures were taken at Gateway Classic Cars before they sold it for me.
