Default Back in a C5!
Sold my 99 coupe back in March because I wanted a newer convertible. Took me 3 months but I finally bought this 02 Torch Red Vert! The car wasn’t for sale but a man on Facebook contacted me and said the owner of a bar in his town has one that’s been sitting in his garage for quite some time, he gave me the phone number and I contact the man and he agreed to let me come and see it. I drove 3 hours from Chicago to a small town in Indiana and made the guy an offer on this Beautiful 02 with 30k and drove it home! She needs a few things but she’s mine and home.

Awesome looking ride! Looks like those rims might even be the rather rare polished Italian forged versions, very clean.
