Hi everyone,
My wife and I are proud owners of a new to us 2007 C6 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car in showroom condition and only 14,000 original miles. We came by this amazing vehicle as a result of a combined blessing and tragedy. The car belonged to my brother in-law who purchased it as a distraction from the tragic loss of his wife to cancer and this car became his life. He himself came down with terminal cancer and my wife offered to come and help him through his ordeal so in gratitude for her support and assistance he gifted her the car when he entered hospice in October. I was concerned that I would have to beg my wife to let me drive it but fortunately she did let me drive it and even put my name on the title. Thanks love and thank you Lloyd! What a fabulous vehicle.
