I don't own your car.
In the future who ever buys my cars please don't contact me.
Whats done is done. My time is valuable, I don't want to waste it.

Road Pilot seems a little grouchy today. When I decide to sell my C5 and it is not done person to person, I will leave some info in the car or with the dealer that says it is OK to contact me.

Thanks, only reason I'm inquiring is this car had some great mods at one time and I'm just wondering what remains unseen. No complaints or anything on the car. It is fast and runs and drives well. I believe that the LS7 is long gone, but just maybe they removed the "speed" parts such as the headers and the air filter along with the LS7 covers so they could get it to pass smog? The other question is, did they remove the heavy duty transmission or the rear end gears. Anyway, just trying to gather info on this nice 51,000 mile 2000 convert! Thanks....

Very nice find and thanks for the pics. This is the first dark bowling green metallic that I have seen with a grey interior and a black top. Kind of an unusual color combination for the DBGM.
