Good catch! I agree, take the covers off!

To the OP, nice car and great find!

If this is your first Corvette, especially a GS, you might want to take it easy for a little while till you get used to it. Corvettes love trees and ditches if you power down on it and not ready for the results. The rear end can swap around on you....another thing about the GS is you will find the front end it rather low to the ground and the air dam will scrape on a lot of stuff. Its not hurting anything, but just making a noise that will make you cringe and a little embarrassing at times.
The color your have on yours is really great. Hope you enjoy your time with it.

Great looking GS! Welcome to the wide body club! Where are you located?
Yes I did print a Bill Of Sale and it’s completely filled out with year make model miles and vin. Then signed by buyer and seller. However the seller had a lien with a bank out of state. So until I get the title all I can do is get a drive out tag. But could not get the drive out tag without a bill of sale.

I live in Cottontown TN about 25 miles north of Nashville off I65.

Thanks for the advice, believe me I’m sure I need it. I’m 65 years old and retired a couple years ago.
i did own a new 1984 Corvette that I purchased new in 84 then traded it for a 86 Vette 2 years later. Only kept it a couple years and sold it. Started looking for a crystal red a couple months ago and was lucky to find one that had been taken care of the way I will take care of it.

Congrats! Love the color! I did the same thing as far as getting a Red Corvette out of Hell's Furnace (Mississippi) and back closer to where it was assembled! Don't forget to wave - especially if you see me in my Victory Red Base model. I am just over here in Clarksville.

OK, folks. I am not totally against Mississippi, but after living down in Ocean Springs for several years, I don't really appreciate the environment, but there are certainly much worse places to live - like Maryland!!!!

We bought ours from Arkansas and drove it around for over a month waiting on the previous owner's bank to get us the title. It felt like we were driving a stolen car, even withe the Bill of Sale and insurance.

In Arizona we can get a three day transfer, repair or inspection tag for $1. Useful for buying a car long distances from home.

After several months of looking I finally found what I have been looking for.
I have a 2010 Crystal Red GS. I love this car. Going to a car show today down in Va. I live in the "dreadful" state of Maryland. My best advice is drive it as much as possible.

Nice car! I personally think 10 GS's are the best. If you leave the Traction Control on in the car its pretty hard to get in trouble with it...... I have tried to get in trouble but it won't let me....... that's why its called a Nanny....... Here's to miles and miles of smiles.......
