I sold my C7 a year ago and have been driving what most would call a practical car. A 2020 Impala. We all know that once you get that itch you ave to scratch it. I've owned in my lifetime 5 Corvettes. Two C3's, a C4, a C6 and a C7. Well after browsing the market I found Vette number 6. A pristine Yellow (of course) C5 convertible. Onl 40K miles, well documented carfax and best of all......A 6 SPEED. Also has a nice magna flow exhaust setup. So as they say out west.....

I'M BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN.......

first order of business is getting the CAGS taken care of....

These are from the dealer. I'm picking her up on Monday. This thing is cleaner than my C7.

Thanks. I've been looking for a few months. Test drove a couple of them but this thing blew me away. You can literally eat off the engine.

That's Awesome, I too was in the market for a yellow c5, but came across a deal I couldn't pass up, while it's not yellow, it still brings a smile to my face every time I fire it up ...

Love the wheels. Since this vette unlike my previous two will stay in the garage. I'll use the Impala for my daily. I really want to keep this as stock as possible. I'm thinking of getting one of those cigarette lighter bluetooth adapters so I can at least play my Sirrius

The car doesn't have an aux input though... Guess you'll just have to grab you a full blown double din head unit

There are some workarounds to this but you need to have certain things in place first, either hardwire the stock head unit or you need the CD changer cord available

Thanks for the info. With my C6 & 7 I burned all my cd's to a thumb drive. Since this vette has the 12 cd changer maybe I'll just go old school and play the cd's.

You can still do the cigarette lighter deal, it will just have to be the one that Bluetooth to your phone then it picks up a radio channel on your radio, works ok ......no aux needed
