Nice car, I bought a low mile 2007 Base recently myself. Have fun putting a few of your own personal touches on it 
Pick up a copy of the Corvette Black Book to tide you over until spring.

Hello,
After some great advice from the guys on this site, I have finally bought my first Corvette.
It is a 2005 Coupe with 6000km (3800 miles). I bought it 9 days ago (Friday) in Montreal
, and it was shipped to me the next day in a trailer in Ottawa. It was driven off of the trailer and straight into a storage unit for the next 3 months. I own my first Vette and I haven't even driven it yet.
When I take it out of storage in April, the first thing I plan on doing is changing all of the fluids, and also the tires. The are is even original on this car.
The only thing that has ever been changed is the battery. Prior to purchasing it, I got a copy of the Car Proof. I went to my local GM Dealership to see what they had on file. They were able to confirm that 4/5 recalls have been completed, and the most recent battery and oil change.
I took a couple of pictures of it after it came off the trailer.

Welcome to the Corvette crew!
There's a good bunch of (C5/6/7) Corvette owners that get together in Orleans on Thursdays (once April/May /good weather hits) over on Tenth Line Tim Hortons.
My first vette was a 05 Red Coupe just like that. I have a Lemans Blue 05 Coupe now. Feel free to message me if you require any tips on the 05 or just someone to help get familiar with the C6.
If you ever hear a Mystic Teal 98 Camaro Z28 driving around, that's me.

Congrats! I have a Victory red 05 Z-51 with a glass top and it is very similar to yours. You snagged a great deal and that car should last you a long time!
