kano b Yes, however, those pop up lights will eventually break. Then you'll have to open the hood and manually open them until you can replace the gears. They got plastic gear teeth in there which is stupid. After so many openings and closings, the teeth break off. I already replaced my right side, and now my left side just started giving me problems too.

Hey, as long as you're happy with it that's all that matters. My 3rd vette was a 98. My fourth (and current vette) is a 2004, so, obviously, I liked the C5 body style. Not too crazy about the frog lights, but they grow on me. I guess the one thing I liked about the C5 was the retractable lights. The one thing I didn't like about my 98 was the dual instances of the dreaded steering column lock. Two times I needed a flatbed. But because I liked the model so much I figured with a 2004 they'd have worked the bugs, and that was addressed without having to install an aftermarket ignition bypass. I purchased my 04 for 25K with 25k miles. I don't see myself parting with it anytime soon it's just so much fun to drive. No worries about the audio levels, just enjoy the ride. No Del Tacos' in Houston, just Taco Hell. lol

Quality of materials and assembly is unmatched, even if from Karachi, Pakistan. Can't say anything but nice things about them.Recovering C5 seats is a walk in the part for an average person with average skills and tools and can easily be done in an afternoon. I repaired the biscuits as needed with Gorilla Tape and put a piece of carpet over the wires in the seat bottom to remedy the wires cutting into the biscuit.Seriously-where can you get a "toy" for $3,500?

A little bumper epoxy and some more white touch up would fix that bumper. Nice find.

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

I picked this thing up in Santaquin! Super close to you! I haven't decided if I want to try and make it nice. Or go full race car with it yet. For now I'm going to daily the snot out of it and enjoy every moment! Haha

[@johntilson2535]

Very smart. A Vette isn't usually a daily driver anyway and for what you have to pay to insure the thing? Very smart indeed!

[@pintobros7649]

Don’t listen to the haters bro u could see how happy u are about the car! That’s awesome brother

I bought my C5 2001 convertable for seven months ago and my dream just have been reality :) That's why i am calling my C5 for ''My Dream''...Corvettes are just like a dream!!!!!It's just 37800 Kilometers on it and it's absolutely original

You can rebuild that engine for $1000, I had c6 with 490k miles, bought rebuild kit for 700, and machined the block. Drives like new.

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

Heck ya! 😂 Thats awesome 😂

[@BoonieDutchman]

@@HUMMUHSMIFF For sure man, that poor ls7 was daily driven + track driven almost DAILY for 3 years. The owner took great care of it though was always on time with oil changes and because of that engine had minimal wear on the cylinder walls, now the piston rings were a different story because they were almost nonexistent, but that rebuild kit had everything in it that could be swapped out, and I did that by watching youtube videos on how to rebuild LS and such. And I have little to no mechanical experience. Good luck with your c5 bro!

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

@@BoonieDutchman that's an awesome inspiring story!! I wanna rebuild an engine solely based on KZbin video 😂

Go to Tractor Supply and buy Permatex plastic welder and glue and clamp your cracked bumper as it will glue it like new as this crap is stronger than original and its 3.97 a tube here in Fl.

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

Great idea! Maybe I'll do it and make a video out of it!

[@airgunningyup]

looks awesome, people pay 3500 for a rolling chassis vette with no motor

[@patrickm.blanchard8497]

Awesome buy! perfect candidate to use for a daily and clean up a bit as you go. Then later throw a 5.3 and a small turbo on it

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

Thanks man! Never thought I would have a set of ZR1'S LOL to expensive 😂

[@spokentruthfully]

I'd say you got a damn good deal bro. The exhaust, wheels (which aren't stock for that vette), and headlights, would cost around $2k-$2.6k alone. You can fix that crack in the bumper for less than $20. Just go buy some Liquid nails plastic bond, and some fiberglass mat. Use a Dremel to make a small groove on the front, then line it up, tape it on the back to hold in place, then use the plastic bond to fill in the crack, then place small strips of the fiberglass mat over it, wait for it to dry, then take the tape off the back and put some plastic bond over the crack with the mat over it. After that sand the front down till its smooth and blends with the rest of the bumper. I did this to my Z06 but it was a 5" crack straight down from the edge of the turn signal light. Can't even tell there was ever a crack there and its stronger than it was. Oh... and don't forget leg day! lol

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

Hahaha I only forget leg day sometimes! Lol but yeah! Once I saw all the mods I was like no way... I'm buying this thing today lol

Milage on a car literally doesnt matter if you take care of the car

[@GTX1123]

Got my 98 last year on ebay motors. 46,000 original miles, 6 speed manual, long tube headers, cold air intake, carbon fiber trim installed on the interior AND in the engine compartment and a Bose sound system and garaged for most of its life. It was dyno tested shortly before I bought it, at 318 HP wheel to ground (370 HP engine to flywheel). And the price???? $9,100

[@HUMMUHSMIFF]

Hell yeah! That's a steal for that condition!

[@GTX1123]

@@HUMMUHSMIFF It's always a gamble when you're buying anything on ebay for that kind of money, especially a Corvette. One of the challenges with C5's and many other sports cars for that matter, is the overall mechanical design to cram a lot of stuff into a tight space. This can create A LOT of labor charges for simpler repairs like replacing the fuel pump on a C5. The rule of thumb is therefore always to buy a C5 at a good price related to mileage etc.

[@panzerwaffen2873]

Smart or stupid??? Stupid is to have the money and don't buy it unless you don't like Corvettes... Now I'm not saying it to you but why are people so worry about miles on an LS1 ?? If you take care of the car it will take care of you

It's so true lol so many people are sooooo afraid of high miles and I friggin loooove high miles yeah some ish is worn out but it gives it character lol
