I read through your revival thread in the C3 section, thanks for the link. I love this type of thread. Great job bringing your Dad's '69 back. What a great thing to do for him. Lots of really detailed pictures.

You have a very nice C5.

Thanks. The C5 is very love it/hate it for me.

I love driving it, it's a blast; but I cannot stand the paint. I hate the Quicksilver with a passion. It's so mottled and hard to match on top of it.

I wanted to sell it a year ago but the wife wanted it in the engagement pictures and it was on my wedding cake (will have to put up a picture).

Was going to go to a widebody C6 car but too many people I know have them. I really want an early Viper. Maybe in a few years I'll swap them out idk.

Not sure if this is a little tacky but it was well received. Got a Bburago silver coupe, repainted the interior black (matte floors/semigloss seats) and cut the roof off so it's targa. My sketched up idea was a little off from what the cake place made...didn't realize the cake was so small, but it worked enough.

Hi! Left a note on the c3 page, but wanted to do the same here. Absolutely a great story about your father, you, and the '69. Just terrific! Thanks for sharing your experience and saving that great '69. Best wishes to you and your father!

Coolest wedding cake ever

I agree with your wife, keep the C5 but if you do eventually sell it, I'll take the rims.
