Selling my 2001 C5 Vette.
Current Mileage on body: 92,XXX
The story:
So I purchased this car from my dad (original owner) about a year and a half ago with the intentions of keeping it forever. I've spent a few thousand on it fixing all of the bugs (HUD was broken, passenger door locks stopped working, diagnostic buttons didn't work...etc). He had JUST done all of the major mods and then had to have back surgery and could no longer get in and out of it. The build has less than 2000 miles on it for sure. Initially, it had the small pulley on the supercharger making just over 16lbs and had an aggressive tune specifically matched to a SNOW meth injection kit. Car made over 1000whp and almost 900lbs tq. I had East Texas Muscle Cars put the larger pulley on and throw out the SNOW meth kit and replace it with a simple HOBBS/Pump kit. With a conservative tune the car made 843whp on 12lbs boost.

This thing is nasty and I hate to sell it but.......I got married in October so...... you know. I'll get another when the time's right. Asking $24,500

Reason: Price Drop
Wow that's a beautiful Corvette that sounds like it's ready to chew you up and spit you out 👍 If I was in the market for a C5 I would be all over this one. I like it. Nice car.
Man she looks and sounds sexy. It's a shame you have to sell her. Speaking from experience, I still regret to this day selling my '79 L-82. My late wife's father bought it new, when he was stationed in Hawaii. I bought it from him in '96 with only 36,726 miles on it. Sold it because I had two kids and was getting tired of working on it all the time. The car is somewhere in Texas now, and I would trade my Z06 in a heartbeat for it, simply for the sentimental value.
