I didn't think these gold C5's were sold to the public? Wow, that's gorgeous! I love gold. I would have bought one of these if I could.

They were made available to dealers, but most opted to keep them for themselves, knowing they were instant collectibles.

However, if you want to see one in person, come to the annual CorvetteForum Cruise-In over Memorial Day weekend. The BBQ King of the CF, Roscoe, owns #13, and uses it as a daily driver!! (way to go Roscoe! ).

If you have any old issues of Corvette Fever, check out the April 2003 issue to see an article on Roscoe and his car.
