Hello all-
My name is Barney Edens. I had an accident in April where I broke my thumb at the wrist and can no longer ride my Harley comfortably, so I traded it for a Hummer H2 and the next day traded it for my 2001 C5 base navy blue Vette with 46,000 miles with a 6 speed.

This was the best substitute for the Harley. As we liked to your on it. And now love the option of top or not. And I Love the color

We received the car with all service records and the original window sticker. It was pretty well taken care of. Thanks for letting me be part of the community!
