I re-joined the club today. 
I don't have the cool story Frankie has, but I finally found a Daytona Blue car to play with.
Bad pictures, too screaming hot and bright today, but I'll get better ones.

Congratulations 
Great color. Looks nice. Which motor?
You will be pleased to know I bought a 69 350/350 Convertible on Friday. Original sidepipe car with 44,000 original miles. 4 speed 3:70's and loaded. I'm running out of room
Enjoy the new Vette

Congratulations, I know you have been looking for a while.
I love the '63s, they have a lot of character.
Daytona Blue is a wonderful color, especially when viewed in Full Sun
Which engine? Did you decide to go with an "original" or NOM?

I went with an NOM. '66 Corvette 327/300. 4sp, PS. I'll drive this one often like I drive my others, once I get it sorted out.
I didnt care for the the number matching (supposedly) cars I saw, and I liked this one. Really wanted a nice Daytona Blue/Dk Blue car that I could drive.
Unmolested, nice body and paint. Important stuff is correct. Late car, June '63. Pretty nice interior, needs a few details straightened out but nothing scary. Mostly stuff thats fun to do anyway. Same owner about 28 years, taken care of.
Should be fun.

Beautiful car!
Nothing like getting a new one and going through it. It's like getting a new puppy, you never know where it's going to take a leak.

Still going round and round with the transport company to get car picked up from Herb.
They were SO good when I bought my '61 in South Carolina. Same company 5 years later and things seem to have gone to guano.
Poor communications, argumentative, what-have-you. They are about 1/2 day from getting fired and I'll start over. Grrrrr....
Beautiful Daytona car....some say it's too dark for them; I like it a lot...nearly bought one last month!
