I'm putting in a definitive thumbs-up for these wonderful cars—we hope to never part with our 50th Anniversary convertible. Some notes:

1) The coupes (4,085 produced) are actually substantially rarer than the convertibles (7,547 made). There was no Z06 version of the 50th Anniversary edition.

2) Both roofs were ordered on about 53% of coupes.

3) The coupes were the actual Indy pace cars, so the exterior graphics are only "correct" on coupes. Those graphics were always dealer-installed, and some folks, perhaps including the original owner of this car, chose not to install the full set. If the next owner wanted the full decal install, they remain available.

4) The 50th Anniversary cars came well-equipped. They were the first Corvettes to have standard magnetic ride, which fundamentally changed the livability of the C5, especially for long trips. They also include everything in Preferred Equipment Group 1 (Memory Package, power telescoping and manual tilting steering column, Head-Up Display, Twilight Sentinal, and electrochromic mirrors).

5) The Shale interior color makes the 50th Anniversary cockpit feel far more open and airy than the black that was in almost every other C5. Chevrolet would re-use the interior color once—on the 2004 Commemorative Edition cars.

6) Our 50th Anniversary was our first Corvette, so it took us a while to catch on to the little extras such as the leather elbow rests and grips on the doors. Those elbow rests and grips swiftly made it to the Corvette aftermarket, but they were standard on the 50th Anniversary.

Best wishes on the sale.
