Default Found the 2007 I want to buy, except,, I bought it!
I bought the 2005 corvette of my dreams on Saturday. It has 14,000 original, one owner miles. Can someone tell me how many of this setup was produced?

Here is the vin#1G1YY34U555118803

Thanks in advance for your help

Based on the antenna on the trunk I would say 05.

Sure is beautiful...

I would go ahead and do the 100k mile service since it is 13 years old if it hasn't already been done.
i.e. all fluids, tires, and belts and radiator hoses.

Congrats!

There are so many things that make it unique I wouldn't worry about it. Just enjoy it. 14k miles in 13 years is very low. Real high cost per mile as if he was the original owner then he probably paid sticker or above.

That is a good-looking car!

But, I always wonder what "Original Miles" mean. Can we drive them again?

Maybe someone else has a copy of the miles.

Thanks everybody for the information and compliments. I was wondering production numbers because I have the original bill of sale paperwork with it and it was sold for $68,316 in 2005 which seems like all the options listed on the window sticker is pretty much all Chevy had to offer.

Thanks for the maintenance tips too!.

If it's a manual trans, make sure to always park in reverse. If not, battery will go dead. Nice Ride !!
