My First Corvette: C6 Convertible
Hi all: This is my first corvette and I feel pretty lucky to have found it. I knew I wanted a 6 speed C5 or C6. When this one became available I knew it might be the one. A widow of the first owner owned, 7700 Mile, LS3 M6 in my favorite color combo. Car is 100% stock with the exception of a borla cat back. I thought I’d be buying either a C5 or C6 Z, but I have to say the convertible has been great fun. After sitting since 2012, an oil change, diff fluid change, and fresh gas and the car is running like new. No disappointments. Thanks for letting me into the forum.

Appreciate it. I was surprised to notice the car still smells new. Considering buying the original NPP exhaust just to have it on hand. I’ll probably be replacing the original tires here shortly as well. This car as an economy car compared to the others I drive!
