I've been trolling craigslist with the CSmart App on my I devices and haven't come across any of these anywhere near me. I know they are out there and keep hoping to come across one somewhere.
I don't really do any garage sale type stuff, but I might have to. That sounds like the best bet, besides Craigslist. FleaBay doesn't have any older ones.
I thought there might be a few folks on the Forum who no longer need/want them who might be willing to sell one. I'd put it in cars or parts wanted, but it didn't really seem to fit there.
I've seen the black C7 Fischer Price Power wheel car and the red '63 being sold now, and they're OK but I'd love a C5. My 1-year-old is obsessed with cars, especially the vette. He'll be ready for one soon.
Thanks for any help or direction. Much appreciated.

I’m going to move this to the Auto Extras and Memorabilia section. You might get some leads there.

I found mine on Craigslist. Had to drive 600 miles round trip for it but it is in excellent condition. They are hard to find. Or you could just give him your c5 and buy a new one for yourself.

I bought this C5 at a Toys R Us, about 20 years ago. It is battery powered, but it's not a Powerwheels, it was made by a company called Tek-Nek Toys. I've never seen another one, but there might be one out there somewhere. I also still have my daughter's pink Powerwheels Barbie Corvette from around 89.
There are always a number of old Powerwheels Corvettes for sale at Corvette Carlisle, and I've seen them at Bloomigton too. For something a little different, Summit Racing sells a pretty neat 63 Corvette battery ride on. I'm sort of torn between buying my grandson the 63 from Summit for Christmas, or the red GMC Sierra made by Rollplay toys, that looks like my 2016 Sierra.

And for giving me another reason to go to Carlisle and/or Bloomington.

Funny thing:
I found a beat up C5 (black) originally produced by Safety 1st -- 15 ish years ago. No battery. Basket case ride on kids car. Total restoration project. So I bought it, and plan on painting it to match my C5.
A few days later also on Craigslist, I found the same model -- black c5, but this time unopened, brand-spanking new and unassembled. Bought it for a hundred bucks. Still can't believe it. What are the odds?
