Default Just picked this car up.....

I bought this car off the internet and it will be shipped to me in the next few days. A little nervous buying a car this way. The owner sent me tons of photos of EVERYTHING and seems to be completely legit. Cant wait to get it here.

That's how I bought my vette site unseen he sent lots of pics and documents. I bought a one way ticket and he said if it wasn't what he said it was he would purchase my ticket back home that same day when I flew in to look at it. I drove it home 12 hrs later and I will never forget that day..

The car is in Ohio and I am in Mississippi. I am starting a new job next week and just dont have the time to make the trip. The owner is a collector and sent me photos of all his cars. Everything from classic muscle to modern performance cars. I got a ton of photos and asked a ton of questions.

I am confident everything will be fine......just cant help but be a little nervous.

The color is why I bought the car. The owner says its 1 of 24 TA verts that color in 1999.

I am searching the web trying to confirm that. It has a mild cam, long tubes and a few other bolt ons. I was thinking about doing an engine build for my vette....but now that I have this car, the vette may stay virgin and the TA may get a 427.

decisions, decisions

Damn good looking car, EXTREMELY clean! Definitely would be nervous about buying a car w/o driving it, but a car that clean would give me tons of confidence its good to go too.

A buddy of mine has done this a few times, he's always had good luck. Nice car, looks to me like you made a good choice.

I agree with the LS1 emblems on the hood. They will be the first thing to go once it gets here.

I will post more pics of the car when it gets here and let everyone know if it is as advertised.

The car arrived yesterday. It looks as good in person as it does in the photos. I found 2 very small rock chips. I cant believe how nice this car is. Runs and drives great. its REALLY LOUD. The pacesetter headers and off rod Y will be coming off soon for some Kooks with cats.

I am very happy. Looking forward to making some changes to the exhaust and doing some more mods.

Glad to hear everything worked out and the car is as sweet as the owner and pictures said.
