Aztec Gold Corvette
This will be a small thread....
Other than the gold color is there any differance between the Aztec Gold Corvette and a normal C5? I know there was a limited amount of the Aztec Gold Corvette made (15).

Nice car, 70 grand for a 98 seems like a lot but with only 15 made who know how much it will be worth down the road

Saw one of them at the NCM when I was ther in Sept. They said they were built 5 at time and after they still had problems with the paint after the 3rd group of 5 they stopped making them in that color. FWIW

Down the road the [hugely increased] value would depend on still having the factory paint in great shape... which means no driving. 
Nice footnote in history, but I'll let somebody else enjoy a garage ornament... Life is too short to waste!

Not a bit of difference other than the color. Of course with only 15 made, the Aztec Gold is really rare. I saw one a Kerbecks years ago and IMO it was a nice color for the C5.
