Default C5 Corvette

I'm looking for a Bowling Green C5 convertible with low miles and tan/oak interior. Anyone have an idea where to look or can direct me to someone selling one of these rare cars.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul, you have AWESOME taste in fine automobiles! You are looking for, IMHO, one of the most gorgeous color/body style combos Corvette ever made! Of course, I may be a bit biased...

Took me a good while to find mine and when I did, it turned up at a Chevy dealer less than 2 miles from my house! 3 weeks of negotiating and she came home a little over a year ago.

Unfortunately, mine is not for sale....

Best of luck in your search!

I agree, excellent choice of colors! You don't say where you are located, but if you are anywhere near upstate NY, the dealer I bought mine from has one http://www.prestigecorvettes.com/car.php?CarID=681

I had a great buying experience with Prestige.

Good luck
Matt

Default Bowling Green Corvette

Don't know where you are located, but there's a dealer by the name of Conte's Corvettes in Vineland, NJ (www.contes.com). He does not have a Bowling Green vert. However, he does have a beautiful '98 Fairway Green 'vert w/Oak interior and top w/magnesium wheels for $28,500.00. A stunning car from the photos. Nice reputable dealer. Always reasonanble pricing. Good hunting! Log on and take a look. If you like it and buy, let me know how your experience went. Although I didn't buy my FRC from him, when I upgrade, he's one of the dealers I like (been to his show room, nice set up).
