About my Corvette

This is my first Corvette. Got it on autotrader.com with 64,000 miles from the second owner. Wanted one since childhood and my late wife had the same dream but passed away before I got it. Thank you Michele for making me promise not to give up the dream. She's my Lil Angel and I named the car after her.
All original interior and exterior including the paint. The car spent its whole life in a garage, under a cover or both. I installed a Red Cherry wood kit on the dash because I like the look of wood in my car. I replaced the U-joints, the shocks, the wheel bearings. I had the original wheels retrued and powercoated and machined. I replaced exhaust system from the stock headers to the bumper with a Borla system and the intake has a air director. I drive this car to a national Corvette event every year since I got her three years ago. I got a 3rd place trophy plaque in Original F class at the Ecklers reunion in Oct. of 06, drove her up to the Mid-America Corvette fun fest last Sept. and am entered in this years 35th Bloomington Gold show.
I got em to drive em. This is my daily driver. Thank you for giving your time to read this.
