Congrats on your new toy
When I was C-5 shopping a couple years ago I wanted a low mile(under 20k) 04 Z16. The cheapest one I could find had 18,900 miles....and twin turbo's and CCW wheels etc. I rolled the dice and bought it sight unseen from cali and had it shipped to TN. It needed a good clean up and a couple minor things when it got here but turned out very nice. I am 51 now and would never buy a stock C-5. They are not fast in this day and age...dont make much more power than some mini-vans but are the best looking IMO. A boosted C-5 cant be beat...they can run(out-run) the new stuff and have the awesome(IMO) looks. Modified C-5's are the deal of the century.

I have a different slant on your sale. Your car looks great but
I think it is underpriced. THE BLOWER IS NOT A BIG ISSUE.
Really......You are selling to a younger group. The blower comes
into play if you are wanting a quick sale.
My thought would be why are you selling a low mileage, perfect
condition vette with high priced modifications for 20k?? I don't
know what your lowest price is but I would bump up the price and
say nego. to drum up interest. Also, I advertise in magazines that
are hot rod oriented . Frankly Corvette only publications won't
be as fruitful as more general publications. Good luck.
