I would probably post this in the for sale forum. (and...there were no factory orange c5s, did you mean yellow? or c6?)

Some owners have repainted their C5s in an orange color - they look great. Haven't seen one for sale in a while, but posting in the C5s for Sale section might get you some info.

Only one I ever saw was owned by a man named Corey. It was a gorgeous custom orange color. I forget his forum name as I haven't seen anything from him in several years now. I think he lived in SW Missouri area, or maybe Kansas.

The only thing I could find was this one:

C5 Orange Z06

Don't know if the Z is the one you are trying to find but if you scroll down the second page you will be able to see the pictures of it.

Good luck with your search.

I didn't even notice that lol
It was tuned by Joe who is one of the best In the area. I just can't get over the 28k price tag. U could buy used coupe with less miles. rebuild the motor and have a procharger installed and tuned for alot less than that. I was getting ready to fly down to Texas and pick up a car, just happened to drive by their lot and saw what is now my 99' white coupe. It had just came in from west virginia they had it on their lot for 2 days. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again

Since you like Orange check out the paint on this one. Not FS and a Coupe but the right shade for repaint. Also saw DSOM on a 63 and it looked like it was made for the car. Can't go wrong.
