Hey ya'll. Just got a 25 year old promise fulfilled. Got a 97 torch red a few weeks ago. She needs some TLC. I had a 82CE that we had to sell (the car seat didn't fit, he's 26 now). I sometimes wonder where the 82 is....Oh well, happy to be back in a vette. We'll be waving!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome. And yes, sons get to ride. We have many questions. Thought I had reseached C5's until I found this forum. A few questions we have.....Chevron or Shell gas(we have easy access to both), previous owner used her for dd and said they "just used regular gas", door panels-can they be repaired, seats, recover or replace, removing swirls and scratches. We'll post ???s in tech or general.
