02 Ragtop Checked All My Boxes
I've been watching c5 sales around my area for a couple of years now waiting for the day my house was paid off. Within a week I came across this 02 Magnetic Red ragtop with only 27000 miles. The car honestly looks 'almost' as if it just rolled out of the factory. There are a few small knicks on the front bumper cover that have already been touched up and the drl housings are damp inside. I'm keeping my 75 so I'm a two Vette family now. Pics below or it didn't happen.

Good luck from the owner of another 02 vert. Previously owned six C3's and I don't miss them a bit after driving the C5. (although they may be worth more now then when I sold them) Have fun and rive it!

Congrats! Both cars look great! You're really gonna love the C5. There are several good aftermarket option for the front marker lights. The complete DRL upgrade kit from Sharp Light Innovations is what I have. The Laser LED marker lights from VetteLights are also a good choice. Good luck. I hope the car brings you many miles of smiles.

Congrats on picking up your C5. Nice looking car and you’ll really notice the difference between it and your C3.

Thanks. And you ain't kidding about the difference. The C5 is so much easier to drive...and jumping from 75 to 95 in a blink of an eye is a no can do in the C3. I got about 250 miles in today going to shoot steel on the opposite side of Atl from me today and got there waay faster than I usually do in my F250!!!!
