Thank you all!!!! It is really exciting! I am still wondering if this is for real. I checked again and it is. I visited a corvette shop that another forum member highly recommended.I introduced myself and had a great talk. Car will be delivered there to freshen her up and make sure all is well!

I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that he knows this already.

Congrats on the purchase. Looks like a great car.

Looks like a hell of a ride, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Thank you, sir and you are a funny guy!

I have always liked you Mike Ward. You are a good egg and you have guessed right!

Hey, maybe I should start start my line of questioning on the NCRS forum with, "How is my stamp looking?"

Well, just two short weeks ago he didn't know what any of these parts were.

I do not know who put that decal on. Could have been anyone who had this car. At least I have a head start getting bonus ncrs points!

Thank you gentlemen. Well each of you has earned a golden ticket to drive this beast. I suggest you two take turns and run through the gears. I like to be strapped on the luggage rack to see how well it holds out.
