CORBRETTA is born!

[Norm 88GT]

It's a 2000 model in limited color run of about 300 or so.  Not that it matters since it spent some time on it's roof.    Less glass to dispose of.  I'll do a through inspection with a fews pics.

So did you settle on this one? And is it your's in your possesion? Or pending?

I look forward to pics of it bare and the beretta being placed on top!!

[Norm 88GT]

Yup!  Got the VIN on this one as it is paid for.  Had a corvette forum member decipher the VIN along with a definition at the bottom:

Yeah, not that it will stay that way.  C5 offers an even stiffer T1 or Touring 1 sway bars that some say are pretty stiff on the street, but for $700 I'll looking at coilovers.  

Norm

[IsaacHayes]

$700 coilover setup. Man, is there a point where you think "this is plenty enough" !! I'd be totally happy with a FE3/Z51 corvette beretta! Or at least drive it a while before doing upgrades, that way you don't get bored with it!! haha.
What other things have you thought of?
You should be thinking of getting it together first!!  

[RebelGT]

Isaac, are you like a norm groupy or something, I mean holy sh|t dude, it looks like you post more in this thread then norm does.

[1988GTU]

hahaha    

[IsaacHayes]

Hehhe. I'm interested in this project and I get excited easily when norm posts an update or thought!! lol. Somehow by posting I feel its more exciting than sitting around waiting for an update. I need to not check here everyday! lol
I really want to star work on a project of my own, no matter what it is, but can't. So I guess threads like this are an outlet for now!! haha.  

I'll try to drool about the RWD V8 Beretta w/6speed without posting as much... But what if my posting encourages Norm to update more often or work more on it! lol  

[1988GTU]

We're just razzing you.  haha  
Have a  

[berettaspeed]

i can't wait until the build up starts.. OMG pics everywhere yes!!!!!!

[Norm 88GT]

Groupies, I should be picking it up in the next week.    I'll be posting quite a few pics.  Doing some preventive maintence like new weather stripping around the windows and such.

Norm

[Norm 88GT]

Heading south to see a "southern belle" with a fiberglas body(not really 'glas) in Georgia.  Post pics later this week.

Norm

[KFLO 93 GT]

Hell yeah Norm!  Cannot wait to see your Corvette man!  I think this is the perfect way to step into long term Corvette ownership and possibly collecting Vettes as many people begin to do.  Mate it with a Beretta!  

This is tight as hell.  Hey if this Vette has tail lights, and you want to sell them to recoup some fundage, let me know.  I'm kind of wanting some to play with on my truck.
