Default Just purchased 2002 C5

Been looking for a Vette for over a month, probably drove 15 to 20 cars before finding this one on Monday, I'm really happy I was patient and waited for something special.

The car is like new inside and out, paint, wheels, interior, etc. I have the build sheet and the original window sticker....pretty sure this car has every option that was available, sticker price was $50K, plus the last owner really dressed it up with some aftermarket add-one

I also own a 1930 Ford Model A, will be fun at the shows this summer with the two sitting next to each other.

Some pics for your viewing pleasure....

Good looking C5. I just traded in my 2003, same color as yours for a 2013 Grand Sport. Nice combo with the Model A. My dad has two Model A's (31 coupe and a 30 Town Car) and I have one Model A (31 Victoria). Henry knew how to build them.

Thanks....it's kind of interesting I know a few guys with A's that also have Corvette's...almost polar opposites 👍

I was actually looking to buy another Model A, a 30 pickup and decided to go this direction instead.....happy I did.

I noticed you are in Colorado, my cousin is in your area he has a 2003 Z06, he's always been a Mopar guy, traded his hot rod 69 Dart for the Z06 and a really nice Valiant....he may even be in Aurora

Looks like the PO took really good care of it and spent some cash dressing up the engine compartment, congrats!

Your seat covers, shifter **** & boot, emergency brake boot, console lid, etc. are all aftermarket upgrades just to name a few. Lots of extras in there. Nice!

Beautiful and very nicely modded C5. Nice custom touches to the interior and under the hood. Looks like it may be Vette Essential leather seat covers, steering wheel, shifter ****/boot, emergency brake cover, console cover and etc.
