Anniversary 21
I took delivery of my 98 on Jan. 5 1998. These are a few photos from over those 21 years.This car is just as good if not better than the day i brought it home. The paint is 100% original, Zanio approved. I ordered this car in September of 97, The born on Date is near the 18 of December. As we speak it has 49000 miles. I know, I know, Drive it more. I don't need to. I have it longer too enjoy. This car is mine i own every mile. I still have a lot of miles to go. Thanks for listening.

Who's the fat old guy taking a pic of your car?
Hahaha
Another original owner here (2004) and I don't look the same as when I got mine either!
Congrats and enjoy.
Toyed with the idea of a 2013 C6, the C7 had me considering as well but I love my C5. Like you the miles are all mine and low (mid 40's).
C8??? We shall see.

Fantastic! Nice to own a car like that. Not costing you much $$ anymore and always available to enjoy when you wish. The C5 will go down as one of the best looking designs in Corvette history, for so many reasons. Timeless.

But you might be surprised at how little this car has cost me in what I had to do to it. Yes, I have spent a nice buck on things that I wanted to do. It has just been a great car. I do believe that most C5 are good cars, I depends on how they are maintained. I knew this was my first and last new corvette and I have treated it accordingly.
