Here's an absolutely great driver, and a head turner.

Yeah, it's this one or a new 2005!!

The red '68 is like my 1st vette I had at age 17. 427 w/435HP rat motor. Mine nickeled & dimes me to death back then... hauling brick by hand did not pay that well :-)

R U looking @ a new or used C6?

mhzvr6 · 01-16-05, 03:08 PM

New C6. Found a dealer in OH that will take GMS (supplier pricing), so I'd be able to take delevery in BG, Ky. $50,920 minus the discount... looking at 45K plus TTL for TN.

I'd also liek that '68... waiting on a reply from seller.

R U going 2 take NCM delivery?

mhzvr6 · 01-16-05, 03:17 PM

Yes, that's the plan. My son is in the USAF(reserve), will grad from TN Tech (EE) this spring, get commissioned & I'll selling him my 2001 Gti VR6 (WV) that's Vortec supercharged. Puts down 262HP at the wheels.

Anyhoot, he'll drive me up to BG and home in HIS Gti and I'll head home in the '05 Vic Red Coupe.

The 68 came without the "Stingray" emblems on the front fenders

Yea, the guy put a 427 hood on it also. It also has the chrome inserts on the side vents similar to the 69 (?).
I'm getting ready to put pwr steering on it, it's kinda a bear to try and park etc.
