Bought my first Vette about 3 months ago. 2006 Z51 one owner just shy of 34000 miles. Seemed to be neglected by first owner. Beautiful Monterey red paint had lots of scratches and swirl marks. Has that professionaly polished, I replaced all fluids, had drivers seat foam replaced, installed Bilstien shocks. Love this car.
