Driving up and trailering back... assuming the car is as represented and checks out. I was able to speak to the original selling dealer and the previous owner (who's had over 15 corvettes). Carfax and Autocheck are all clean... looks to be mint and stock. Plus it's one of 3 red/tan/tan 2001+ 6-speeds I could find in the entire country.
The car is a 2003 50th Anniversary with 43k miles and all options other than having the base suspension. Driving up to stay w/ WKMCD in the DC area tonight then up to PA on Saturday AM.
The car will get basic intake/exhaust and some minor cosmetic stuff. The cheesey stickers will be the first thing to go.
Eventually when a buddy (he knows who he is!) wants to part with his Fikse FM5s in Z06 sizes I plan on snagging those.... other than that I'm keeping this one on the mild side.
