Don C’s 2004 Convertible

I always want to own a corvette convertible but always felt it was out of my reach as my years grew more the thought faded.  So sometimes we settle for less. My dear wife heard me talk about a Bmw Z3 convertible (sorry) for about 10 years and one evening I showed her one for sale with really low miles 12,000 and she said what are you waiting for! We had that car in the garage in 3 days.

About 3 years later we were moving 4 hours south to Amelia Island and I began to get the corvette itch, you know the ones that has you remembering when! So I mentioned it to Nancy and she said if you find what you want go ahead and do it.

So the hunt began in FL as that seemed to be the area with lots of corvette convertibles in Le Mans Blue, 6 speed, low mileage and convertible top! So I drove the z3 south and left in the garage on the Island and drove my other car home a few days later. After two weeks of looking where do I fined the Corvette, 40 minutes north of where we lived.

So I hoped in my car drove 4 hours south to pick up the z3, drove 4.75 hours north to make the deal. What deal and what a great day. Got what I paid for the z3 and great price on my 2004 c5 Le Mans Blue, tan interior, 6 speed, 30,000 miles and a convertible. I drive it only with the top down and we get plenty of top down wind in my hair days. Why oh why did I wait!

Some Random Thoughts

Brushing your teeth is the only time you clean your skeleton.

If you try to rob a bank, you won’t have problems with bills for the next ten years, whether you succeed in the robbery or not.

Recent Testimonials

I have been a customer of Corvette Mike for many years. I have worked with them on both the service and sales side. In a business that is filled with various shysters, working with Corvette Mike and his team in Anaheim hills is a breath of fresh air. They do what they say and say what they do. Their prices are fair. Mike is one of the most knowledgeable Corvette guys on the planet especially when it comes to Stingrays and I have had involvement with him on both my 65 L79 convertible and a 67 L71 convertible, which I ended up actually selling to Corvette Mike. On that transaction they paid me a fair price and getting paid was no muss no fuss, again which is unusual sometimes in this business.

I have been using Corvette Mikes for service for over 15 years.  They are the best.  They stand behind their work 100%.  I have been to many Corvette shops over the last 40+ years and nobody is better!  The whole staff is excellent.  The same people have been working there forever.  From minor service to major repairs, they do a great job.  And their showroom is like a Corvette museum, with incredible Corvettes from every generation.  I highly recommend this shop.
