Sold the corvettes (60 Fuelie, 63 SWC), in market now for GEN2 GTS Blue

[pullin-gs]

I am starting my search. Hopefully it wont take as long as the SWC did (years).
Short-list of "wants"
Original.
Blue GTS
Never wrecked.
Excellent condition throughout and turn-key.
Low Miles.
No mods.

GTS Questions:
Are there any Viper owners in Hernando/Inverness/Cystal-River Floirida area?
!st-year GTS is 1996...my 1963 coupe was buggy as hell with a ton of "1st year" parts. That is one of the principle reasons I sold. Is 1996 GTS the same?
Also, how does the original paint hold up on GEN2 GTS? Past cars I have owned sucked (1987 Grand National) and cost me $$ to fix only a year into ownership.
I wrench my own cars....GEN2 seems pretty straight forward?

Thanks everyone for the help.
Paul

*) Original stock
50K budget.

Have you ever sat in or rode in/driven one? Reason I ask is if you are ever in the Daytona Beach area I would be glad to show you the car and answer any questions you might have. It is a 96 but does not meet your criteria. Bill

Bill, thanks very much for the generous offer. I put down a deposit for one a few hours ago. Hopefully the deal does not fall through.
