Sharp looking Coupe, congrats. I like the Maroon over Maroon combination and you've also got other nice options like PW, PB with the original master cylinder and Leather. Enjoy it, it looks great.

Thanks for the complements,
I looked for a long time for the right car, this one is very nice. Restored in mid 80's only driven 100 miles per year. So far this week new tires, rebuilt trailing arms, rebuilt all calipers packed wheel bearing & idler arm. Next water pump & all rubber hoses.
I have had Corvette's since 1970 when I came back from Nam. This is my 8th.

Beautiful car! Hope I'm not being to snoopy but I would love to hear the story how you acquired it? To me the story behind the find is as intriguing as the car itself : )
Enjoy while you can.
