Thanks for the warm welcome guys !
I forgot that my other uncle has a blue 92 6-speed coupe.
He bought it when he retired, its been parked since the 1st battery died in the late 90s
Around 20k miles, no winters !
He never married and has no kids.
I have been helping him renovate Grams condo to sell.
He offered me some $$ the 2nd week in, but I told him don't worry about it that's what family is for! ( joked with him that he could leave me his vette in his will) LOL
Being a "car guy" the conversation keeps coming back to the vette. I told him let me go thru it so he could drive it again or sell it!.....
Friday he told me to clean out my garage !!
He is giving it to me !!
Only info I have is 3 tires hold air and the 4th does for 3-5 days !
Pics to follow soon hopefully !
