It's a done deal!. ;lx
I am now the proud owner of a mint 1998 Covertible Corvette. :^x
It had one previous owner, and has never been winter driven.
Low KM's at 22,000 (13,000 miles)
The color is Light Carmine Red Metalic
Loaded with all options available including Champaigne colored
magnesium rims.
The Exhaust and Air intake have been modified as well.
I can drive it a little bit now, until we get snow again.
Next on the list is to get personalized plates.
Here are some pictures I took as soon as I brought it home
today.,

Thanks guys!
It seems very overwelming to have this car in my garage.
Almost like a dream..
I took some pictures of it with the top down.
It takes about 20 seconds to put it down.

I backed in the Vette and it looks right at home!!
I also found out that the color combination and magnesium wheels is very rare..almost a one of a kind!!
That definately makes me proud..
Major snow today,,so it looks like she may be parked for the next four months.
The garage will have to make as a showroom.:-y

Everybody needs a Corvette!..:hump:
David,,This was originally in the showroom at the Pontiac dealership and you would not of known it was a 98 if they didn't have it labeled as such with a tag on the dash.
The two Chevy dealers in town have now have Vettes.. :^x
One has the Quicksilver Z06 that I was drooling over before.
They other dealer just received a Millenium Yellow Z-06, both are of course 2003 models and are listed at $78,000 CDN..
