I had been out of the Vette business for almost 20 years after selling my ‘99 convertible. Ran across this ‘04 about three weeks ago and made it mine. 18K original miles and in perfect shape as a garage queen. Loved the color combo, especially the light gray interior which is MUCH cooler than the black in my previous car.

Ran The Dragon with it last week as part of the Corvette Expo in Pigeon Forge, and then a dine and drive with the East Tennessee Corvette Club this past Thursday. With that, she’s in the 20’s now with more to come.

Thanks! I take it this is the only post I can make without some sort of mod approval. Tried posting elsewhere and got that message.

Thanks folks! Maybe if I post a few more photos, I’ll be taken off the double secret probation list.
