Hello CF members! I've been a long-time looker, but am now a Lifetime Gold Member and here to stay.

My new to me: 2011 C6 Corvette GrandSport convertible, with 3LT interior, TR-6060 transmission, and 9075 Torch Red paint.
1,200 original miles on the dashboard.

I recently purchased the car from the previous owner, who was one of the owners of the Minnesota Vikings. The car was garaged down south its entire life and is in assembly plant/showroom condition.

The attached pictures are of how my car currently looks. Totally stock, except for a complete SunTek Ceramic Tint job and a full body XPEL PPF job.

I plan on driving it a lot and doing some tasteful mods to the interior, exterior, as well as some performance too. Stay tuned!

Thanks in advance for the warm welcome

Thanks so much Rob! I am absolutely in love with the Corvette lifestyle, totally going to keep this car forever, through thick & thin.

At the end of the day I just feel lucky to be here and fortunate enough to enjoy all the things that I love.

Peace

Awesome C1 in a very classy color! Do you know of any Corvette shows/meets locally in Minnesota?
