Check out my dad's new ride

[Dave McFly]

I don't have any pics of my own yet, my digital camera is broken . so i found one identical to his.



1997 Chevrolet Corvette targa top hatchback coupe. has the 6speed manual tranny instead of the auto. It was 15 grand and only had 28k miles on the clock . I cannot WAIT to drive it .

pretty nice

[OverAnxious]

The car in the picture looks like the FRC (fixed roof coupe), is your dads new C5 a hatchback with targa top?

Nice car nonetheless - those ride on rails

[Hyperknight]

That car is already a classic. Very nice!

as i said in the first post it is a targa top hatchback coupe. i did a search for a 1997 corvette that was red. as far as I know they did not offer the fixed roof coupe until the 99 model year along with the new Z06 model. I am pretty sure that pic IS a hatchback it is just the angle of the shot. remember the C5 vette's hatchbacks did not have as much glass as the C4 cars.

I've forgotten how curvy and flowing those Vettes were, i'm so used to the Musclular features of the C6's.

I was always partial to the C3 cars especially the last of them (80-82)



He was looking at one just like this but dark red almost burgundy almost the color of a can of dr pepper .

First off, I would have loved to have come across a deal like that one up there. Very nice vette!

Second, my dad owned a vette just like this one but it was cream in color. I loved that vette. Two weeks after he sold it, the tires were stolen off of it. Then, a few days later, the whole car was stolen. Guess he got rid of it at just the right time.

One of my teacher's have a "Camaro Red" (he calls it ) 66 stingray convertable. Beautiful.

And maybe he didn't get rid of it in time, but the fool who bought it (hope it wasn't a family member:o) wasn't careful enough with it.

Dang Tag, does crappy luck with thieves stealing cars run in your family? :( That would really suck!

Actually, I've only had my Chevy 1500 truck stolen. They meant to burglarize it for the stereo...but someone left the keys in the seat cover pouch....

[acscamarochick06]

Ouch! I'll bet you're extra careful with the SS now though Gosh, can you imagine how paranoid we'll all be when we get our new ones?! Get out of the car to walk in a store and somebody stares, I'll be all like "WHATCHU LOOKIN AT?!?"

[TAG UR IT]

Yeah...I've been complaining that I need to get more excersize. This is one heck of an easy way to get that extra walking...parking it waaaaaay out there in the parking lot. Or, just park it between the Jag and the Benz.
