My first Corvette
1997 Red C5 got it for $ 13,000 with 100,000 miles on it Mechanicaly sound. exterior is A+, interior clean , seats worn out broken seat back handles and power seat bezels, in the process of replacing.
In North Dakota, "snow" waiting for it to warm up so I can do some work to the interior.
Ordered up clear turn signals,3D chrome emblems and some LED's to dress her up.
set of Z06 shocks on the way.
Scheduled Transmission service just for good measure.
Future plans:
Exhaust and long tube headers, X-pipe.
has K&N cold air on it already.
New headlights, would like to retain the flip-up style.
does anybody know how to cure the noisy fuel pump?
