My IROC got a new buddy to spend the winter with!

I picked up this 1995 Corvette last weekend. It has 85k miles. It had been sitting in a garage for 6 years, without being touched. I had some cleaning and buffing to do, (well...a lot), but the car is awesome and runs and drives absolutely awesome! And everything works! Here's the best part....I bought the thing for $3,000!!!! That's not a typo! 3 GRAND!!
Never wrecked or damaged. Clean carfax, etc

Awesome. These cars pull every which way if the road isn't flat. Basically hugs the groves. The high sill plate is something to get used to also. That being said I wished I had one. I have gone from liking them to not liking them to wanting one. Have fun and you did steal it!

C4s are probably the most underpriced super cars out there, can't imagine more bang for the buck and yours looks very nice.

Like everyone else said, you got an awesome deal on it! I have a black 91 Vette and admit it's a blast to drive. Dead reliable. Though I'm not loving the high sill. Lol. Welcome to the community. If you haven't yet, join the corvette forum. Another great group that really supports each other.

Re: My IROC got a new buddy to spend the winter with!

Thanks fellas! I've been driving this thing EVERYWHERE. I'm 6'5" tall, so getting in and out kinda sucks but it's sure a fun car. I actually bought it to flip it.....but I'm kinda falling in love with the thing and I might just keep it around for a while
