Took the car to a nice location to take pics... Forgot to set the time and date on the camera, so it shows up as 2004...
Let me be the first to say congrats. Your TR looks awesome. Much better than that worked 88 white one you were looking at. Don't keep us in suspense, what are the specs........mileage,# previous owners, etc.
It's Hutch91TR's car.. It's a US spec '91 TR with 31k miles and I'm the 4th owner (according to Carfax). Car had 20k in service work done during the last 2 years and is in top notch condition... Drove already 1300 miles with it.. 1200 miles to bring the car home and today I drove about 100 miles around town
She looks great down there in FLA!!!! I'm gonna miss her , but will definitely get another TR or 512 TR in due time. Enjoy her in good health and drive her as often as possible!!! Best to ya Olivier!!!!! Also, carry around an allen key to open the front trunk, and use the cable latch by the front speaker. The latch release on the floor is hooked up to a weak cable that breaks frequently (I've broken it 2x). The other cable latch by the speaker is much stronger. Congrats Olivier!!!!
Thanks for the tip on the latch cable!! Great TR!!! You took great care of her!! I will try to do the same!! Drove 1300 miles so far (1200 miles to bring the car down to FL and about 100 miles around town).. It's a real fun car!! BTW - got the title today.. Will probably "officially" register her on Friday or Monday.. and pay my $4k sales tax... Florida charges sales tax even if the car was purchased from out of state... Oh well...
Here are a few more pics that I took this morning!! http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-1.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-2.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-3.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-4.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-5.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-6.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-7.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-8.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-9.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-10.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-11.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-12.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-13.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-14.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-15.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-16.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-17.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-18.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-19.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-20.jpg http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/grandsportc3/tr1105-21.jpg
Dwight I have a 90 TR and had the pedals switched to 355 Aluminum Olivers car looks as if you did the same? Oliver great looking car I have her older identical big sister you will enjoy it Martin
So far I'm having a blast with the car.. Drove already more that I was planning to The weather has been perfect, so I did a lot of driving around town...
I'm already shopping for wheels .. I might even go with 19" wheels.. I haven't decided yet... I'll decide until christmas and will buy the wheels as a christmas present to myself
Actually now you have the car every week is an Xmas present week my wife is tired of all the boxes that keep arriving Oh! well.
From September '04 to March '05, I received at least 1 shipment of parts per week for my '68 Vette Drag Car.. Got a lot more $ into my Vette than what I paid for the Ferrari... I'd never be able to even recover part of the $ that I put into the Vette..... Well, didn't build it with resale in mind Sill planning on adding a 150 shot of N2O to the Vette and running 9's on the 1/4 mile.. Haven't really planned any performance mods for the TR yet... Wheels are the only planned mod for now, but that might very well change
I know what you mean I was into Vette restoration for a number of years havinbg parts refinished and tackling projects during the winter has a bunch of stuff appear at the door.
