Looks good, now go drive..PS I think you stole it and it looks bone stock too..a big plus, as I think we'll see lower mile unmolested C5's hold good value over time..

Very nice looking car and an even better price, even with those couple repairs needed.

Thanks everyone. I'm out in the garage detailing the (already clean) interior. Freezing rain outside so I can't drive my new toy but I can pretty her up some!

Love your car! I almost bought a Carmine Red C5 back in '07. Ended up with an Arctic White '97.

I've actually been flipping motorcycles for many years. I've just this past year been putting that money & mindset into corvettes.

I actually put my C4 and this one up for sale the day they were bought. But I price them a bit high so they don't sell right away because part of the joy in the flip is the use and care of them in the meantime. Maybe I can flip myself into a C6.

...and as far as the C7 goes: meh, that car does nothing for me (though I'd gladly accept one as a gift).

very good deal with low miles and mostly original condition. Good luck sorting out the AC issues.

What a great find! Congrats, that is a great color, my favorite next to Nassau Blue. Don't rule out the chrome wagons if you find a cheap set, the non-vette people compliment mine all the time.
