Default Low mileage on my ‘99 FRC

I recently purchased my first Corvette. I was searching for a C5 Z06, but came across a one owner 1999 FRC with 7,626 original miles! The car is completely original (except battery). It even has the original tires. It got me wondering, are there any other low mileage original cars like mine out there?

Maybe get some clear 3m film applied while the paint is still sharp?

Needs fresh tires for safety.

Bought my '03 with just under 6100 on the clock. I think at the end of the season I was hovering around 8k. This was my 2nd summer with it.

There are quite a few low mileage C5s out there. And you certainly found a nice one. Congrats and enjoy the car.

Beautiful car you have there.

Picked mine up about 2 months ago with 23k. One owner garage queen. But it did come with a Magnaflow exhaust and LT headers.

By the way, check those tires. Mine were original run flats manufactured in 03. No way I was gonna ride on those babies.
