Personally, when it comes to corvette ownership/use, big mods are essential to experience the full visceral effect. And buying one such as this, with apparently THE best components already researched, purchased, and installed, you win big!! You really are saving yourself a truck load of loot, an excedrin headache`s worth of hassle, countless hours of contemplation etc. Sure some guys live for the "build" and I can appreciate that. But I`d rather be blowin the tires off rather than turning wrenches or writing big checks. To Seller, that car is incredible, and even though 40+g`s is crazy for any c5, this car is the exception! Good Luck guys!!

Assuming the car checks out (and I would be surprised if it did not) this is by far THE BEST way to get yourself a one off INCREDIBLE machine for about .20 cents on the seller's hard earned money, and get a SMOKING deal on a true show and go SHOW STOPPER like this C5 Z.

SIMPLY incredible opportunity hear best of luck to all involved!

I just talked to the owner. Here is the lowdown.
There is one guy flying down from Tennessee on the 13th to pick it up.
4 other guys very interested and one guy was asking about shipping the car to Colorado. I think it will be decided in the next week or so, but he has not received any deposits yet.

Someone is going to be very happy with this thing. The owner really wants to keep it, but he needs the $$ right now.

Damn I'm not going to lie. I secretly hope this car is here for a little while longer.

Default Hard to Believe

If this write-up is correct something is very wrong. Having done two c-5 with neither to this level I just can't believe it.

Even if you are looking for a stock C-5 and are even considering building it this car is a steal.

I thought someone was flying out to look it over ??

Might be far better off to part it out with all the mods.

I would make solid offers on several of the parts. Consider it if you can do the work yourself I'm sure you would come out far better.
