[C5] Corvette Cover

[mickeystoysz16]

Anyone have recommendations for a C5 specific car cover for in the garage. The only time my car is outside is if I am driving. But in the garage it seems to collect a lot of dust. I would like to get a cover for it but would like to get some ideas before I spend the $.

You had the weight advantage over the Viper. You should have raced BEFORE he ate.

anyone know about zo6's, they seem to be priced about the same?

Hey Mick,

All of my Vettes are basically driven like yours. In a garage most of the time except when being driven. I have the same cover on my '69 that I bought for it 20 years ago and it is still doing the job.

For indoor use, I like the plain cover with a soft flannel interior to protect the cars finish. I have one for all three of mine. The last one I bought was for my Z16 too. I can't remember exactly where I got it, but I think it may have been from Zip Products. I took a look at this link and it looks like the one I have for my Z06 CE.

If you look at other Corvette suppliers (Corvette Central, Mid-America, etc), most of them have some sort of Premium Flannel cover. They typically run between $120 and $150. There are a lot more expensive covers out there, but for the type of use you are talking about, you don't need anything more than this. Unless, you want a cover that is more decorative.

Well, I hope this helps!

My cover was by Wolf, Custom Fit for C5 and had NOAH material
