Default Hello from New Mexico

Hi all from the high desert and mountains of New Mexico!

Been doing truck/off-road builds for past several years but always been a 'Vette guy; previously had a '77 L48, custom '79 L82, custom '80 L82, 1984 C4, and 1992 LT1.

Right now I am scanning local dealerships and the internet for a (grey, silver, white, or blue) 2015-2016 C7 Z51 in LT2 guise with red interior. Hope to purchase one in the next 2-4 weeks to compliment my Toyota...lol!

My current ride looking for a stable mate:



Looking forward to being a member here!

Good luck in your search. Good looking truck and a Vette would be a nice addition to your garage.
