Derryk Holmes’ 1998 C5 Corvette Coupe – A Rare Beauty with a Collector's Touch

This week's Fan Friday comes to us from British Columbia, where Derryk Holmes is preserving a rare piece of Corvette history. His 1998 C5 coupe may look sleek and classic in white, but this car’s story goes deeper — it was originally painted Bowling Green Metallic, a color produced on just 500 units that year. Backed by full documentation and sitting proudly on collector plates, this C5 is a true survivor with just 40,000 original miles.

Derryk’s Corvette isn’t just a garage queen either. It features both a matching painted targa top and a smoked blue one, giving it that signature C5 versatility. From the chrome wheels to the subtle red hood accents and a clean engine bay, this one’s clearly cared for by someone who knows what they’ve got.

We’re proud to show off builds like Derryk’s — low-mileage, well-maintained, and uniquely configured Corvettes that remind us why this platform is so special.
