Jetdok5,
Welcome and congrats on getting your car. That is very low miles for a car built in 1991. I've had my EM for about 12 years and enjoy it very much. ... BTW, what does VGC mean?

Jetdok5,
where are you located?

We have several EM in our group and I owned one a few years back.

Good to know. I thought it might be a province somewhere in northern Canada. I couldn't think of any other reason for it to average only 72 miles per year over the last 22 years.

The car was built and resides near warren ohio. the last owner hardly drove it and kept it in a heated garage in one of those "bubbles"

The car only needs toothbrush detail around the waxed up edges.
It has corvette front and rear, no rollbar 454 LS-7 crate with twin holleys 650 and a doug nash 5sp. I put in a new optima today and ran it for a while. never saw a gas station, uses VP c-12 fuel. car will be trailered to any events we attend this year.

Welcome to ClubCobra and congratulations on the purchase! It must have a lot of compression to need VP...!
