Default Hello from Central Texas
This is our 3rd Corvette 2011 Hennessey HPE700 Grand Sport, Found it in Southwest Florida with 13,000 miles in a climate controlled garage. The car is showroom shape, really lucky to find it. Its a rare Convertible with a 6 sp auto and paddle shifters. Incredible car. When I found this my wife got my 2008 convertible and sold her 2005 Convertible. We plan on having Vettes till we die.😁

Well I got her her own, gave her all the remotes and told her to program everything to her, and she liked that. She’s tiny 5’-6” 125lbs and I’m 6’-6” and 290 and she probably shouldn’t be driving a 707 RWHP car 😁
