Like most guys I have wanted a Corvette since God's dog was a puppy... Finally made that happen this week when I bought a mint condition Turbocharged 87 in Corvette hyper Yellow. It has 55,500 original miles and just 5,000 miles on the rebuilt, now turbocharged engine. Despite the tires looking like new the seller warned me that they were perhaps 10 - 12 years old and recommended that I replace them. Knowing you can't tell by looking and even when garaged they do time out. happily my local tire guy set me up with a set of Toyo's {$893 OTD}. When I checked the DOT codes of the old tires they were 8 years old so am glad they are gone. I have a 3 ring binder about 2" thick documenting the complete history which of course includes every detail of the engine rebuild and the Turbo install. I am wading through it a little at a time and learning a lot. Here a few pics starting with my 2 "Beasts":
These are the tires it came with and look good but turns out they were 8 years old... now replaced by a set of Toyo's:
I am wasting hours on the internet trying to find a Unicorn... a custom dash mat for my Vette. No one seems to have anything close to the dash configuration {two large square speakers on either side of the dash}. Don't care what it costs, I live in Arizona and really need a dash topper, {preferably in grey} but it has to fit! Thanks.

Cap Steve:
Have you tried you local upholstery- interior shop, i would think they could custom make one , exact to your specs, in any color.
Welcome, nice looking Vette. I believe it is supercharged and not turbo charged. I see a belt driven supercharger. Regardless, It's clean and you will enjoy it.
New guy with my first Corvette
