My new old 97 Black on Black coupe

I made the jump from a C4 to a C5. Found this car with 90K miles. Six Speed and it came with the stock wheels with new Potenza tires as well as the wheels here with Michelins. $9500. Includes a CAI and new slotted and drilled rotors.

Nice ride, but you have to do something about that front license plate mount.

Thanks everyone. I lost my 92 C4 in a flood this summer and have been actively looking for a replacement. I really liked the C4, it felt like I was sitting in a go cart all the time and was so much fun to drive but I appreciate the more spacious cabin and the easier ease of entry and exit, plus the C5 is my favorite looking vette. I don't know what exhaust is on it but I think it's stock, it's fairly quiet. Supposedly the only non stock parts are the wheels, the rotors and calipers and the CIA. It came with the part to fix the 1-4 shift which is still active and I think I will get the part to fix the steering lock problem before I have a problem with it. The only issue with it is the passenger side seat belt is jammed, but I have a new one on the way. The interior looks as good as the outside. As I said I also got the stock wheels with new Potenza tires so I am ahead of the game there.
