Default Just Bought 2nd Vette (84 2-Tone)

Now the owner of 2 Vettes.

Today, I purchased an 84 2-toned auto to fix up. I wil be bringing it home Tuesday. (The anticipation is killing me!)
Still seems to be all stock. Except for an aftermarket stereo.

Runs and drives good. Body is good, but needs paint worked on. Not sure of the color name. It's champaign on top and a darker brown below.

Has the cross-fire TBI, auto, air, standard power equipment and power driver's seat.

Everything seemed to work properly except the digital dash is dark, pass door won't open from the outside and some lights need replaced.

The exhaust needs looked at. It's pretty loud. (Hole in pipe, sounds like crap, but runs smooth)

I plan on restoring this back to original. (No stripes or mods, just want it to be nice)
More pics after I bring it home.

That top color is called silver/beige metallic. My 86 is that color; top and bottom.

We took on a 91 project car a couple of years ago. It's fun to watch the progress and the visions of your project fulfilled. Have fun.

Thanks for the praise, everyone.

I pick it up Tuesday at 11:00am. That gives me time to drive it home and give it a good look-over before I head for work.

I'll take pics of everything before I do anything else, so I have "before & after" pics.
