Hmm, send me a PM so that we can discuss this.

The '96 GS is a "classic" and I would have to refrain from modifying it, while my C-6 has been taken just about as far as I want to go (do not want a turbo- or supercharger) so I should be able to bypass my mistake from the last time I had two Corvettes. One was always down for a mod or two or three. . .

You've got to be kidding you'd be nuts to accept that.

Gary, you don't have a two-car garage and the garage is already filled with your C-6 - so back off. I can always park my 4Runner DD on the street, and let's face it the GS is BLUE like all my 'Vettes. Back Off!!!!

Ben, it is true I don't do blue cars.
Might be fun to have, though.

Gary, so you would be faced with the choice of which Corvette to put in the garage, the '96 GS if you bought it from Rob, or the C-6. This is critical as it appears that he wants to ensure that whomever got the car would take car of it.

In my case it is easy, move the DD onto the street and put both blue Corvettes in the garage.

Rob, you should have delayed picking it up at the Museum until the end of May so that you could participate in the NCM Cruise In. As you know, I make that trip every year.

Now, on to more important stuff. Did you trade the GS or are you still open to offers? Give me a call so that we can discuss what is going on. Call my cell as I am in Arizona.

Pickup in march allows for the $12,700 off sticker, rebates, GM card, etc, etc...

I'm still open for offers on the GS. Coopers offered me a few bucks for the car. Everytime he seems me wants to buy it, BAD! He just sold his red gut GS so he wantes to replace it with another.

Just have to say one thing. The C6 section is way different then the C4 section. C6 is nothing but ads, gas mileage.... C4 is mods, and my crap is broken.

Still think you're nuts to sell the '96 GS.

As I've told you before, I would rather have a Coupe than the Convertible that you linked to for several reasons, not the least of which is security.
