Thanks Vetteman Jack,
You reminded me of the 3 CDs you sent me with tips on taking care and fixing the C5. I'll pass along those CDs with the complete set (of three) 1997 Service Manuals with the information cutoff date of March 14, 1997. I'll also include the Update Service Manual Supplement with the information cutoff date of April 30, 1998. I also have the original VHS tape (and also on CD) "Welcoming You" to the all new fifth generation corvette. The media piece covers the history of the corvette, features and functions and caring for your corvette. I forgot to mention in the for sale ad the new LS1 V8 with 345 HP engine.

My Vette was built February 27, 1997. First owner bought from Kerbeck Cadillac-Chevrolet drove 32,995 miles in 14 yrs & 1 month, serviced 13 times. Second owner (female) drove 5,117 miles in the next 25 months. Got to love Carfax.

Thanks for all your help Jack throughout the years. It's people like you who make the experience of owning a corvette special.

Thanks for the compliment. I just try and give back what I can after having learned and received so much from the members here on the forum over the past 25+ years.

Thank you! I do get it! I drove it this weekend and it is a sweet ride. It is a head turner.

PS I reread my advertisement, I am only the third owner.
