1999 Chevrolet Corvette

OVERVIEW

This two-owner 1999 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has only been driven 53K miles since rolling out of Chevrolet's Bowling Green, Kentucky plant. It comes equipped with a manual soft top; power windows, mirrors, and locks; and a head-up display. Power is supplied by an LS1 5.7-liter V8 and sent to the road through a six-speed manual transaxle and the rear wheels. Upgrades include chrome Corvette Z06-style wheels, custom two-tone seating surfaces, carbon fiber interior trim, chrome engine bay accents, a cold air intake, and a Corsa exhaust system. Finished in silver and equipped with a black fabric convertible top over a black and gray leather interior, this reportedly award-winning C5 Corvette is available now and comes with a clean CARFAX report and a clear Louisiana title in the seller's name.

EXTERIOR - FEATURES

According to the seller, this Corvette has never been exposed to the elements, raced, or driven hard. The silver fiberglass exterior is equipped with pop-up headlights, a "CORVETTE" windshield banner, and the reportedly original black fabric soft top with a glass rear window. Add-ons include metallic accents for the rear side marker lights and the LED taillights along with four polished Corsa exhaust outlets.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

This Corvette rolls on upgraded chrome 17-inch front and 18-inch rear Corvette Z06-style wheels and a set of Firestone Firehawk SZ50EP tires that measure 245/45 at the front and 275/40 at the back.

INTERIOR - FEATURES

Standard equipment in the two-tone black and gray cockpit includes two-person driver-seat memory; power windows, locks, and mirrors; a head-up display;  a power-telescoping steering column; an AM/FM/cassette audio system with a trunk-mounted 12-disc CD changer; and dual-zone automatic climate control. The cabin has been upgraded with carbon fiber accents on the dashboard, center stack, and center console and Italian leather on the steering wheel, bucket seats, center console lid, and shift gaiter.

INTERIOR - GAUGES

Vehicle information is displayed on a 7,500-rpm tachometer, a 200-mph speedometer, and gauges for the coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The head-up display can show the fuel economy, transmission fluid temperature, remaining oil life, two trip computers, and other readouts. The digital speedometer reads 53K miles; the last mileage figure entered on the CARFAX report in March of 2007 was 41,702 miles.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

Under the front-hinged hood is a naturally aspirated LS1 5.7-liter V8 connected to a cold air intake with dual conical air filters and a six-speed manual transaxle. The engine bay features a variety of chrome and painted accents.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The CARFAX report starts in April of 1999 and shows an accident-free vehicle history across two owners in Texas and Louisiana.
