Welcome me back eh?
My search for a C5 in the Z06 form has concluded.
I will be taking delivery of a torch red/mod red Z06 with 812 miles on it. Obviously one owner
who received more enjoyment from keeping it INSANELY clean and low use than driving it.....To each their own. That will NOT be the case with me. Don't get me wrong, I'll CHERISH the car and give it the usual care I give my cars...but this thing is going to see 2000 miles WELL before I put it away for the winter.
Here's a shot of my father checking things out as I snapped this pic. I can NOT wait to bring her home!!!

It's a 2004 torch red with modified red. The thing still has the wrappers on the sills and the passenger seat is a virgin

OOOH, Jay!
Geesuz, brother! What a find! The torch red Z06 that you were so lucky to find is absolutely stunning. And, Jay, may you have many, many, many more miles of smiles with her. Enjoy.
Best Wishes,
Eden
