Default New buyer C5
Hello all: Just purchased a C5 that is in showroom condition. My first vette was a 1967 coupe, 427/435, I bought this new when I was in my late teens. I have had 2 others since the C5. I had a new 1971 that I had customized and was a winner in the Ramrods auto show held in Washington, DC. Now that I am up in years this will be my last go-round. My wife asked why and I said why not. Looking forward to reading posts and having access to info.
