I have replaced the power window and power lock switches on the drivers side. The ac compressor needs replacing . I do love the car. It is Carmine Red.

Few things compare to owning a vette

March 12, 2022
By david from red wing, mn
Owns this car

The only reason I would ever sell my 97 vette is to get a new 2020. It is a thrill to drive everytime I get into the car it is another exciting adventure, If you haven't driven a corvette, you are missing out on one remarkable experience. At 72 yrs old I love driving the automatic, it will go as fast as you want to go and the gas mileage is good on the highway.
