Thanks, I thought it was 99'.

Ive found a 99 6spd, black on black, 76,000 kms, coupe. I found it on ebay actually, he says it has every option available from factory, never seen rain, has 2 sets tires, 2 roofs, and a custom car cover for it.
He wants 30,500 (cdn)
Ive been looking for about 2 months and have been unable to find one I like thats closer to me. I live in B.C (northern) and this car is in Ontario. I did a carfax on it, everything checks out, he seems like a pretty honest guy.

'99 was when it was first offered as a factory option. Some owners have retrofitted the HUD to earlier models.

Sounds like a reasonable price. What suspension does it have?

I thought it was a reasonable price, especially as I compare it to others i find across canda (considering mileage and whatnot)

I am not sure on the suspension it has, I have few questions to ask him yet, I think im gonna go thru with the purchase.

Never thought Id be getting a Vette at my age, Ive always wanted one (weird being a ford guy) Now my dream is coming true.

Also Glad I found this place, lots of helpful info, Im still going through the pages reading up on stuff.
Good stuff guys/gals

I remember reading that HUD was offered near the end of the '98 run... but I don't know for sure.
