    Saw a 1998, what's it worth?

    Too much, it just isn't as desireable as a newer one. Keep looking, C5's are great performance cars at bargan prices. You'll find a newer C5 or an older C5 that is priced better. BTW As the C5 years progress, the cars got better and some years did have their problems. Good luck!

    Whats It Worth 71 Vette?

    Yes thats it. That would be THE place to sell it. Many, many knowlegeable Corvette people. Gather up all the old paperwork. That paperwork will prove what the car is ( there are many counterfeits ). By the way, does the car have a smooth hood, or is there a bump on the it with chrome inserts...

    Whats It Worth 71 Vette?

    Do you have any documentation with the car ( purchase paperwork, repair receipts, window sticker, etc) This increases the value. Untouched, original condition is very desirable. Now if the car has been abused for 29000 miles, the value is less. But nicely kept, low mileage original cars are...

    C5 Recomendations and Cautions

    I have a 2002, The EBCM (traction, anti-lock brake computer) has failed. From my understanding, alot of 2002 EBCM's have failed. It's just a matter of time. The 2003 was redesigned. There is a relay that goes bad. 2003 and later, if possible. A well maintained car can have a few miles and still...

    Motor question

    When you step on the gas, the carb dumps more gas into the engine via the accelerator pump. If you have too much gas going into the engine, it will stumble on acceleration. However, if you do not have enough gas, it will stumble as well. I'd suggest looking at the accelerator pump mechanism. See...
