Default Another "Make Busy" Project

Besides awaiting for materials for another shadow box (dual service layout, Army/USAF), I'm starting to get motivated to sell my XLR, want more room back in the clubroom. I don't even know what I want for it yet........

Why would you sell that beauty?

Not crazy about the color (I hate red cars) but that is a classic.

The floor is laid out for three vehicles, have four in there now, I have tool boxes and other display crap I need to put back in place, getting too cluttered.
I bought the XLR because I always liked them, still do, but drove it maybe three times last year, I'd just rather drive the Vette.

It's gotta go.

With meathead on the color. However, I do have a plow truck that I'd be interested in trading for it...

I generally don't like red either, unless it's on a fire truck, but that's more of a burgundy. I like it.

Except it wasn't on the same line as the Corvette. Same plant, yes, but assembled on a separate line.

Yes different line, pretty much the same frame and suspension. Did see them at the factory visit in '07 or so.

Was looking at the V's early on, way too pricey and some performance issues steered me to a standard model. Caddie made around 15,000 during its 6 year run ('04-'09).
