Default New to me C5
Greetings,
Kevin here from the C4 forum. I've sold my 87 C4 as well as my 2000 Jaguar to help finance my dream Corvette upgrade. Its a 1997 C5 Fairway Green with 41,000 miles, 6 speed, grey interior. Thank you to Admiral Fairway for making this vehicle available to me. It fit everything that I have been looking for.








Thanks again Admiral for the vehicle. I look forward to learning more from this group,

Kevin

Thank you. I loved my C4 and had it for 6 years. Hated to sell but this C5 is a whole different car. Big improvement in my price range.
