1998 Corvette CR5?
In the local paper there has been an ad in the classifieds...any idea what this is?
Is there something that an aftermarket company did and called it a CR5? (like the Z07 etc...)
Its obviously not a pace car...so it has me wondering what it is.

C5Rs, but that's an entirely different animal. I did a search on google for CR5 and came up with a lot of hits, but all seemed to be talking about the C5R, so it would seem there are a lot of typos as well as confused people out there

I have to agree - it sounds like a Nassau Blue convertible with a white top and a grey interior. Mileage is very low for a '98, but the price is still high.

I would think that is an extremely high price. The owner is either very, very proud of it or the hashish is still stuffed in the door panels.

Another confused seller - sounds like a normal vert to me. But, might be worth a call just to see what justifies the high price.
