I think it's the slope of the back glass rather than it being vertical like the coupe. And I like the chrome tips.

Just found a hardtop for my LS-5 as well. It has black vinyl on top but I plan to paint car color

Anyone else out there enjoying their LS-5???

Don, I like the black vinyl top gives it a different look than the painted top.

Don a little more food for thought before you paint your hard top.


This my friends top that we just set on my car before we put the top in his basement. The top has pin in the middle so we could not bolt it down.

Can't say I hate that. I'm sure I with give the black vinyl a chance. Get the top in May

Next week we are doing a caravan up to the Enid, Oklahoma Corvette Expo. A big event with about 120 cars. Will take pics.

Got me some new floor mats from Al Knoch and will get the car all cleaned up. I've put a little over 1,000 miles in my first year of ownership! Should I change the oil??

Started my cleanup last week,but with the crappy weather have only driven once for about a hour 2 weeks ago. Sounds like the next week looks good.

Went to our OKC Cars and Coffee on Sat morn. Weather was great and we had a huge crowd. At least 1,000 cars I kid you not. Everything you can image included a new LS-5 that I had not seen. Number 406639

I hung around the car for a bit looking at it and the owners walked up. It's a Monza Red with auto. Very original survivor car with low miles. Nice couple and we hope to include them in our local LS-5 non-club club

So now we have 6 local to OKC area.

two Donny Brooke Green
Cortez silver
Mulsanne Blue
Laguna Gray
Monza red

After cars and coffee, Zoomin and I did some seasonal oil changes and then had some well deserved BBQ
