Texas is my home by the Coast. Corpus Christi. Lots of salt water! First Corvette. A C5. 2000 Convertible. Yellow/tan. The best part...15,850 miles. Looks brand new. Now comes the time to learn from y'all. Last Corvette I drove was a 1963 Split Window Coupe when I was a senior in HS in 1969. It was repainted SO DIDNT BUY IT. MY 0ther choices were 1969 Z28 or Shelby Gt500. I sure miss those american muscle .

It that Oak interior original? I had a yellow 2001 Z51 Coupe with Oak interior. Also from Texas, and when I sold a few years back it only had 11,000 miles.

Default They Call Me Mellow Yellow - Donovan

One of the guys at work looking to get a Corvette at retirement said he did not like yellow on the car. Politely, I let it go - but I have to say yellow is one of the best colours on a Corvette. Margaret is LeMans Blue, yet I gladly would have taken her in yellow.
That is a pretty ride you have, Cappy.
