ZR 1s are not going anywhere and the price on them will be down in two years and the resale on the C-5 should be about the same . The ZR-1s are to me as good as Corvettes get , In my Corvette club we have 3 , super nice rides . I like them better that the C-7 Zs..
My bro has enough toys to keep him fullly occupied. I trust him implicitly so no issues with him babysitting the Z for a few years if I decide to keep her. It would be awesome to have both this and a ZR1 side-by-side in the garage one of these days...Frivolous I know, but can't take $$ with you once you go Tango Uniform so might as well spend some of it on toys...

I followed this one when it was for sale. This would be my honest advice. NO WAY I WOULD SELL IT!!! Seriously the chances of you finding another c5z like that are beyond slim. Its one of my favorites are is at this point a completed build. Just store it at a clinate controlled storage and im sure u can have someone you trust start it up and drive it a couple times ect. Or there are procedures to store it long term. You own it out right so thats a plus. This just wouldnt be a car i would sell.

Maybe now, but will you feel the same in 3 years? That's a loooong time. I couldn't bother.
