Default Time to say Goodbye!
I sold my 2000 C5 Vert today and took delivery of a C7. I would like to thank everyone that has helped me over the last five years with all the mods that I did with the C5. I am looking forward to a lot of miles in the new car and bought one that I will not be making any mods to.


The one that's gone


The new car

No ragtop? That's a shame . . .

Enjoy your C7. I'll buy one some day, but for now the C5 is still a charmer.
