looking for my "old" C5
I had a 01 Metalic Silver Vert, bought in Ontario at Wilson Niblett. I sold it in the summer of 02. It's a long story, but I wanted to find it and try to buy it back. A friend of mine who has a car dealership, did a VIN search but the car dropped off the Canadian radar screen, having last ended up at a dealer known to wholesale cars to the US.
I guess it's long gone now, and importing it back to Canada would be out of the question, but if anyone knows of this C5 Vert in the US here on the forum, I could give a detailed description of the car (and I have the VIN too). I have some documentation and would at least like to know the car ended up in good hands.

If you come up with some info on the owner I can probably get you in touch. I have some pretty good investigative resources available. I won't release their info but will call them and give them yours. Kind of the adoptive parent thing. They may not want to talk to you. Let me know!

Wow, looks like you may be on your way to at least finding the car. Good luck. Amazing the resources this forum has available.

Yeah, the resources here are truly incredible.
All I know is the car is in Cinci: to any Buckeye's here, keep an eye out for it. Should'nt be hard to miss with the 360kmh speedo!
It also had the fuel rail cover signed by Ron Fellows.
Man, as much as I love my Shark, I really, really miss my C5.
