Bob the seller and I found we have a couple of long time mutual friends so the sale was as smooth as could be.
In fact a friend referred me to Bob a couple months ago just because I was concerned I might be too tall for a C5.
Bob is 7 foot tall and we talked about his Vette experience.
Then he offered he was thinking about selling his as he has a NASCAR, a vintage Cobra and a couple Thunder roadsters.
Yesterday he drove from Salt Lake City to San Diego with the Vette on a trailer, it passed the PPI.
165 compression within 5% on a cold engine.
Bob upgraded anything he thought would fail or had failed at the track.
The deal included a new set of Kumho 710s and 2 spare front rims and 4 spare rear rims with used 710s, tire management made easy.
I offered to help pay for his 18 hour round trip to deliver the car but he refused.
Bob's a member at the Spring Mtn track club near Vegas, a super cool dude.
He likes to join the Porsche clubs when they rent the track, he knows that track well.
So this morning after a quick clay bar and wax I'm looking forward to some seat time.

Thanks again for all the comments, I’ve enjoyed reading all of them.

911 and the Vette seemed to get along fine first night alone.


If you see Tall Bob at the track give him a point bye for me.
