Corvette Model Gallery

2004 Coupe

The fifth generation Corvette, or C5, said goodbye in 2004. For the final year of the C5, Chevrolet produced a Commemorative LeMans edition, and on top of the list was the Z06.  The Commemorative Z06 uses a carbon fiber hood, first in a mass production american car, special LeMans blue paint and graphics.  the badges honor the 2 previous GTS wins in LeMans by the C5-R racing Corvettes.    
Commemoratives and regular Corvettes also benefited from minor adjustments in suspension setup as well as continuous improvements all around the vehicle. 
Also on 2004, the Corvette was selected again to Pace the greatest race of all: The Indy 500.  

The model:

        I built this model as a quick build, just for a little relaxation between so many detailed projects.  It was a fun quick project with high visual impact.

This was supposed to be a Millennium Yellow car, but the dark red plastic bleeding was too much. So I saved the paint for another project.

Wheels are Hoppin Hydros, brakes are Pegasus

After the pic was taken I noticed some wax residue below the mirror. 

Stock interiors with black flocking and painted details.

The paint is Duplicolor GM Cayenne red from a rattle can.
