Default My First Corvette - C5
My 2002 C5 hard top, purchased from Toy Barn in Columbus, Ohio. Absolutely love it. Only 16k miles. I love the tires / rims on this - blacked out. I bought a cheap fm radio adapter and *think* I can live w/ that instead of swapping out the stereo unit. Came w/ the solid black top and the blue glass top.
