Default Well I took the plunge (#0277)

Hello all.

Did the call this morning and closed the deal on a Grandsport convertible #0277. I'm having it shipped down (enclosed trailer) don't know when it will arrive yet. 7300 miles on her.









I'll let you know when the car is due to arrive when I find that out.

Doug

Thanks. Brandt, I saw a reverse color C4 with white wheels. You should trade your red car for that one. Would make QUITE the pair!

Very nice car - get ready for the lame-o question at the pump: Why did you paint your car that color?

No-one will miss you in that car - they see you stormin up from behind on the interstate, and jump into the right lane!!! In a perfect world.

Tom, I saw it on eBay and in VetteFinders.com and called them directly. I don't like the bidding thing...would much rather just deal direct. Chevy dealer in the Northeast. I was told 1 owner car but someone posted and told me there'd been at least 2-3. Don't you just hate that? Still it is a beaut, with all receipts, records, tank sticker, build sheet, window sticker etc.

Doug

Doug,

I know that car personally and can vouch for its immaculate condition!!! I have an identical twin to it and had an opportunity to purchase yours last spring...the only reason I didn't was because it had a few more miles than mine. Otherwise, it's a winner!! By the way, my husband and I just bought an '02 Electron Blue convertible w/red interior from Hillcrest Chevy 2 days ago and saw your GS in the showroom with a SOLD sign on it!!! Good purchase for you...congratulations!!

GS Diva aka Elaine
