Default New to me 1999
Well I did it I'm back. Closed the deal today. Really nice 1999 Coupe from the original owner. Well taken care of. Im not crazy about the wheels but they are growing on me. Happy to be back, Ill be using it to drive to work. This makes 35 years now of having a Corvette in the garage, I went almost a year without one and it was getting to me. Nothing like a Vette.

I like it! Agree on not being crazy for the wheels, but I'm old so they won't grow on me. Loving the leather, the double din, and the back-up camera mount. Hearty congratulations!

Beautiful, both the interior and the exterior. Those wheels are unique, in a really good way. I like them!

The gauges look different - is it just the camera or are they backlit?
