Default Finally bought a C5
Finally picked up my 1st Corvette. Ive been looking for about a year and finally found a car local to me. 2001 with 33k miles. Was not really looking for the Navy Blue Metallic but it is really sharp looking when it is all cleaned up. Not the best pic

Congratulations and welcome. When I had my C5, a friend of mine had one in your color combo. It is a beautiful exterior and interior set. Well bought, enjoy!
