I have a 97 Torch Red coupe with black interior that I may sell soon. Factory options are: removeable glass top, fog lights, sport seats, memory package, climate control, auto transmission, and Bose CD. It has 74K miles on it. I have done some light mods including Vortex Ram Air, Taylor plug wires, Corsa chrome exhaust tips, NGK plugs, and 3.42 ZO6 differential. It has been garaged it's whole life and never smoked in. It also has new Kumho Escta MX tires on all four corners. Overall condition is EXCELLENT! I would take $20,000 firm. I am only selling to save up for a ZO6. :auto:

I don't think you are offering too little Drewdog, I think your pricing is right in line. Good luck!

DrewDog,
I sent my PCM off for a re-program for the 3.42 gears. I want the car to be 100% if I sell it. Once I get my PCM back, I will take some pics for you. Everyone who sees my car is always in shock of how well taken care of it is.

That is a nice 98, a lot nicer than mine with almost 128,000 miles on it and a daily driver. I am giving serious consideration in going for a C6, but I am not sure I can have $30,000 more fun in a new one. I have:

Torch Red Coupe w/removable glass top
Black interior
Automatic
12 Disc CD Player
Dual Zone A/C
Dual Power Sport Seats
Blackwing Inlet Air
Z06 Exhaust System from 2003 Model(less than 3000 miles)

Runs fine, just came off a 330 mile round trip to our factory and had a blast riding thru the mountains with the top off. As expected, with that many miles, it has some scratches and paint damage on the nose from parking in parking lots. A liitle paint wear on the bottom edge of the trailing wheel well area from road grit.

If interested, I will work on a price

It has the Bose Speakers, 12 CD Remote Player, Sport Seats, both power, does not have the active handling. That came out right after mine was built. I have Bilstein shocks on the car. They have about 40,000 miles on them. Does not have performance axle. Other extras at that time were fog lamps, body side moldings and memory package. I have driven probably all but 200 miles so the memory package was worthless.

Any other questions, let me know. Monica is trying to get me to buy a heavily discounted C5. Just not sure I want to go for that or wait for a C6 toward the end of the year.

Thanks!

I have a 97 carmine red vette I am about to sell. It does have the removable top and the automatic trans. I have just replaced a lot of interior peices due to wear. If you are interested let me know I could send you a few pics. :flag

Drewdog,
I got my car back on the road on Saturday only to find that the spring tensioner on my passenger mirror let lose like my driver's side one did about a month ago. I am now going to have to take the mirror off and send it off for repair. You practically have to take the whole door apart to get it off so it will probably be another week or so before she is ready. Very dissappointing, I was looking forward to driving it again.

I have some pictures I took a long time ago that I could send to you. The car wasn't very clean when I took the pictures but I could send them to you if you want.

What is your email?

Seth
