Going to pick up my first Vette Tuesday I can't wait been a dream car for me since childhood.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your first Vette!
Please post some pics when you can.
I'm sure many of us have had some very long days and nights waiting on our car - and they seem to get even longer, the closer you get to the delivery date! Hang in there, it will be here soon!

I have to go get it the body and interior is in great shape but its not running at the moment but the price was right so since I have to fix it anyway it will be a winter project so It will be a long winter. Since around here we get enough snow and Corvettes and so are not a great mix in my opinion.
But I am just happy to finally get one so not complaining at all.
And thank you for the welcome.

So just an update I got my car and it is rough I was expecting that. What I didn't expect and I only saw the pics since it was a way's away is that is looks like the last owner parked it on the bottom of a lake.
Everything is corroded this is going to take a while.
