I had my local dealership locate this car for me in February 2009, and I took delivery with just 13,735 miles. Since then, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a climate-controlled garage in dry Mesquite, Nevada.

The car is in immaculate condition and remains completely stock, exactly as GM intended when it rolled off the assembly line. Everything functions as it should, including the retractable hardtop. It has never been modified, neglected, or abused.

Letting it go isn’t easy. I’ll always wish I’d put a few more miles on it. But as the years go by and my age goes up and the car seems to get lower—and it’s time for someone else to enjoy it as much as I have.
