Vette(s): 1978 Indy Pace Car 4851 of 6502, Auto, L-48

Here are some of the C5's I'm currently watching on eBay. I really want a Black ert, perferably a 2003 but nothing but Red and Yellow are out of the question. Let me know what you think. As you can tell (since I've bought one vehicle on eBay) I'm not affraid of buying something off eBay. I'm just hoping for a good deal so I can afford to add in shipping. Here they are:

2004 Silver Vert

2000 Black Vert

2003 Annv. Red Vert

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.

The 1st one also is at Johns Corvette Center in N.H. I know they have been around for a long time. The last owner of mine had them do a lot of work on it. Always wanted to check them out just for kicks, but haven't gotten around to it.

Vette(s): 1971 convertible,375 HP 350ci,Muncie 4-speed,Edelbrock aluminum heads and RPM air-gap manifold,HEI distrubiter - old school mechanical tach drive. LOUD side exhaust!

I like the 50th anniversary (3rd link) - although the upper radiator hose on it looks awfully scary....

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

I think the 2004 Silver Vert is the nicest one.

Enjoy the hunt!

The silver one looks to be the best but I like the black one also of course. The color silver will be much easier to keep clean!

[QUOTE=stingrayjim] the first one in N.H there no sale TAX nice drive back[/QUOTE] I'll end up paying the sales tax where I register it, thats what happened with my Avalanche. The tax in WA was actually cheaper then in TX where I bought it so the dealership sent me a check for $450 a few weeks after I got it home.

I'm also liking this Silver one, heres another one I'm looking at. I like the carbon fiber intake on it.

2000 Vert with an incredible 8k miles

I know but it's prolly actually for Pam and she perfers an auto. Besides I'm a lazy driver, shifting to me is just too much work when out on a cruise.
