I'm sure he will fit just fine. I'm 6'4" and a lean 235 and I have plenty of room. Vettes have some leg room. A bit snug by the pedals but plenty of leg and head room. I remember sitting in a Rousch Mustang at the dealership. No way was I gonna drive it. Horrible.
Congrats to the new owner. How many miles on the 97'?

Yes, he's the guy who wanted to come over on Saturday but had to work.

I can't Imagine
I can imagine how hard this was for you. I only have one Vette which is my first. She was born in July 2001 and I've had her since day one. My heart hurts just thinking about giving my car up. I don't know what I will do when it's time to buy my C7; sell or keep. I guess the bad feelings are somewhat tempered by the C6; good thing.

It is for me
!! At least that's what my golf buddy says!! He always has to tell our fellow competitors how my wife bought me TWO corvettes!!! I ain't gonna argue the point
!! Don't be a stranger!! C5s are an addiction,,,wouldn't be surprised to hear you returned to the fold
!! So Congrats/condolences on the sale!!

Today I sold O YEA, my 97 coupe that I've had for 9+ yrs. It was a very weird feeling hearing/seeing her driven away by the new owner.
I have had many, many miles of smiles out of her, and as alot of you know, more than one of those miles was 1/4 mile at a time!
Some shots before the new owner left with her...
And Daryl, the proud new owner! He said he would check in here, so yall give him a big welcome!!! (I'll forward the link to him so he'll be sure to join CF. )

)I know what you mean!!!!! When I sold my first, (76 Stingray).. And watched the rear end disappear out of site. I had tears in my eyes and almost cried like a baby
.... Lots of wonderful memories driving away............

So has the new guy joined up with us on the forum yet? Just a matter of time before he's here and we are telling him about the "search feature" ; )
