Default FS (For Sale) FREE 1997 C5 with 154k miles - Denver

OK, not free. LOL. But make an offer. [OOPS, I just noticed the rules say no offers without a price. I think $5,000 is a reasonable point to start haggling and fulfills the forum rules. Sorry for missing that a few minutes ago!]

We are moving from Highlands Ranch, CO to Naples, FL and I have too many cars (including a truly awesome 2004 Z06.) I had planned on fixing up the red 1997 Corvette but I have been buried with work and packing. My first inclination was to truck it to Florida and get it fixed up there but I already have a Porsche 928 on the carrier. The Ford Edge is theoretically capable of towing the Corvette. But unless I get ridiculously low offers I might as well let it go pre-move.

Here's the good, the bad and the ugly.

The good: Tires are pretty new and it has newish alloy wheels. We have replaced the power steering, the rear wheel hubs, the sway bar end links, the brakes, the shocks relatively recently. The black interior looks pretty good except for some rippling on the driver's arm rest. I cannot describe it but you owners probably know what I mean. Probably that foam under the leather falling apart.
The bad: The car started freaking out almost two years ago. I had the ignition key and ignition replaced. Apparently, the worn down key was causing a problem. Then I also replaced the BCM. When the car wouldn't start at the airport I had it towed to a shop near the airport instead of one of the Corvette specialists. Big mistake. The BCM is still under warranty from the Los Angeles dealer who replaced it. For a little while. So it needs some investment to get it running reliably.
The ugly: The driver side fender has some serious clear coat peeling. The front bumper cover has some scrapes on it where a valet nudged something. And the glass roof has peeling on it. A body shop in Los Angeles previously sanded and clear coated the roof for $200 once before and warned me it would be temporary. I suppose redoing it won't be much more than that or you can replace. The same shop quoted me $400 for the fender, $400 for the bumper cover and $200 for a whole-car buff and polish to make it look in top shape PROVIDED I remove the bumper cover and fender and reattach them. That would keep the shop's labor lower because they would do what I cannot do.

So if you are in Denver and want a project car that isn't a total wreck contact me. I know everyone will want photos and I will try to get out and snap some pics.

(I am separately selling some chrome wheels.)
