Pulled the trigger, sold the SS 1LE
After much going back and forth on the direction I wanted to take the car and weighing some other options I made the decision to sell my Procharged 17 SS 1LE last week. I got lucky that a good friend was really interested in the car and really wanted it, so I will at least still see it around and be able to help out or give some input into the car when he asks.
It was a hard decision to make, 11-2016 my Dad told me he had lower esophageal cancer and would be looking at surgery. I made the decision in 2-2017 to buy the 17 SS 1LE as something for my Dad and I to look towards using for some events and Hotrod Power Tours. My Dad worked for GM and retired from GM so I used my discount to buy the car. He had surgery on 3-1-17 and due to surgical complications passed away 6-4-17.
He only got the see the car once before his passing and never even got to ride in it. It made my decision hard to sell it for that reason, but knowing the new owner would take care of the car like I did helped me make the decision.
The replacement is on its way to me, hoping I will get it by the end of next week. Then to take some time to go thru the new car and get it sorted out, cleaned up and a base dyno run done.
I ended up find a nice 19 Corvette Z06 with all of the main options I wanted, the only compromise I made was going for an A8 instead of the M7 which is fine for me at this point in my life. The goal is to have a nice road trip car so that the wife and I can take it on some trips.
Been fun, keep posting up those 6th gen rides, I plan on hanging around and lurking in the shadows while I start the progression of mods on the new car.
