Sorry, Been away. Didn't know the Photobucket link didn't work. Hope these pics come through. Boy are we enjoying. Took a trip up over Windham Mt Ny . Top down, 29 mpg, 6 speeds to row, Bose jamming,my copilot said it couldn't get much better.

Congrats Bill, from another 85 to C5. Had my 85 Z51 for about 20 years before I got my 02 C5 last year. Just got tired of wrenching on the old C4. I'm sure you will love the C5. Now let's see how long you last before you start modding.

I bought a 1985 brand new. Kept and babied it for 6 years; until my finances at the time forced me to sell it.

it's shown in this Youtube video:

I find many people try to bash the C4; but it was a car of it's era. When compared to other mid 1980's cars... it was the King.

Enjoy your C5

Congrats and welcome to the C5 world. Looks like a nice one! My older brother had an 85 back in my late high-school years. Had a lot of fun with that car.
