New C5 Owner Aboard...
Greetings... long-time dreamer, first time owner logging on here, so be gentle. I realize the many shots and lengthy description may seem to be much ado over nothing, given some of the re-donk-ulous rides I've seen since I began checking posts here, but as of 11 AM this morning, I now (finally!) own a Vette, and I have a much better idea of why new parents bore us silly with sooooooooooo many shots of their newborns! 
Anyway, I'm thrilled to have found this one on the North Shore in Massachusetts, owned by a guy who may be one of very few people more **** than me about taking care of their investments.
It's a 2000 targa top 6-speed that's about as close to mint as I've seen (I've been looking for about 6 months in Southern NH and Mass) for its age, with just a hair over 40K on it. Obviously meticulously maintained, it included all maintenance records and was maintained by a very well-respected Vette specialist in Gloucester, who I suspect is probably fairly well known in these e-parts! It came with the following add-ons:
2 tops - Sebring Silver to match the car and glass
Transferrable Lo Jack system
Hood Liner
Z51 Front and Rear Sway bars
Z06 Chrome Rims
Console and Arm Comfort Covers
Optima battery
Bra
12 CD changer with four 12-disk cartridges
Diamond Cut back up lamps and red side marker lamp lenses
Cordless Air Compressor and Fix a Flat
Stainless Brake Lines
Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Bilstein gas shocks
Hurst short throw linkage
Borla Stainless Exhaust
Basani stainless crossover pipe
K&N Ram Air intake
Chrome goodies throughout the engine compartment
Door Sill seals
Front Spoiler protection wheels mounted beneath nose
HUD
Without further ado, here are the pics...
Thanks for looking in, one and all! I'm looking forward to learning more about my long overdue toy from the folks here who've lived and breathed Corvettes for so long... and hope to find a local club to join.
Regards,
Dave
