Vehicle Description
2004 was a big year for the Corvette. Not only was the C5 ending a triumphant seven-year run as the car that brought this icon back to life, but also the 'Vette had back-to-back victories at the 24 Hours Le Mans. This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Commemorative Edition coupe is a pristine, low mileage example celebrates all of these accomplishments, and even manages to add a higher-performance profile.
There is only one way to get a C5 in this beautiful code 19L Lemans Blue Metallic. It was part of the 2004 Commemorative Edition (Z15), and only 2,215 coupes ever received this treatment. But rarity is not the only thing that distinguishes this exceptionally cared-for coupe. It's an ultra low mileage example that was clearly only used as a pleasure craft and not a commuter. That means the original paint still retains a showroom shine. The Z15 package also meant the polished aluminum five-spoke wheel option that gives these Corvettes a true hint of classic American-style chrome. Not only do these have a special center cap for the Commemorative Edition, but also there's a special badge on the hood that reminds everyone of the C5's dominance at the 24 Hours of LeMans. Unique components like this look great and add value as it matures into classic status. Plus, you already know the Corvette crowds give you plenty of respect for this limited edition.
Just like the exterior color, the interior is exclusive, too. The code-152 Shale interior was only offered on the special edition. Just in case people did not pick up on the other hints that is a distinctive Corvette, they get reminders of the LeMans victory in the specially embroidered headrests and trunk mat. This one came loaded from the factory with features like the leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual airbags, AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, power locks, anti-theft system, and keyless entry. Low mileage means little seat time, and so the leather bucket seats show nearly zero wear. Plus, they're power adjustable so you and your passenger can find the perfect comfort position. You even get modern features like the head's-up display and dual zone climate control. That second one is particularly helpful, because on the really nice days you'll want to take out the optional transparent roof and store it in the ample trunk. Now with the targa top out, you can look cool with the A/C keeps you feeling cool.
With how factory-fresh the rest of this low mileage car has appeared so far, it should be no surprise that the original LS1 V8 looks stellar in this pristine engine bay. But from this view you won't spot a very cool upgrade. It takes the undercarriage shots see the new MagnaFlow exhaust, but you'll certainly hear it as this LeMans Commemorative Edition now sounds more like its race car relatives. On the road this fuel-injected V8 is legendary for being one of the most versatile powerplants available. Mated to a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, you can choose to be an easy driving commuter or leave all the traffic behind with the poke of your right foot. In fact, it comes will a whole host of great driving features, such as power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, and a fully independent double-wishbone suspension. There are even Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT tires that combine run-flat technology with an aggressive tread.
This coupe has been treated as a collectable since day one. That's why it has averaged 2,275 miles over its lifetime and looks so great today. Complete with the original bill of sale, maintenance records, and owner's manual, this is a great collectable at an unbeatable price. Call today!!!
