Vehicle Description
With just a little over 52,000 miles on its odometer and an
original bill of sale sitting in its glove box alongside a
collection of maintenance receipts, this 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
convertible has reaped the benefits of being well-cared for and
conscientiously sheltered. It's looking and running great and would
be a great score for any fan of exhilarating, top-down
motoring.
Dressed in Magnetic red - certainly an apt description - this
'Vette will grab your attention right away. It's carrying a sharp
looking, metallic shade that complements the conformation of this
low-slung performer nicely and, with it having had the obvious
benefit of being carefully protected from the elements, it shows no
fading or unevenness. Fifth generation Corvettes like this one
represented some significant improvements over their predecessors
in terms of aerodynamics and weight distribution, and you can see
from its curvature, sharply angled windshield and pronounced but
stylish incline as it rises from front to back just how
effortlessly it would cut through the wind. When viewed from the
front, its flip up headlights look especially clear when raised,
and sit nice and flush when lowered. As exhilarating as its top
down experience is, for those occasions when the weather isn't
cooperative, a beige cloth convertible top sporting a clear glass
window in back sits ready to rise up and protect you from the
elements.
The beige leather interior has come through the years in fine
shape. As far as color, it's a great match for the exterior and
when you get up close, you'll appreciate the quality of the leather
it features. The high-backed buckets have retained their form well
and have plenty of life left in them, offering a good balance of
comfort for everyday driving and support for inspired
corner-carving. Chevy has always put an emphasis on equipping its
true American sports car with inspired, driver-centric cockpits and
this one is no exception. The black dash area contrasts well with
the light oak that sits underneath it and the array of gauges in
its instrument cluster are well laid out. Get behind the wheel,
fire up the engine and hit the road, and you'll see that this
'Vette also features a heads-up display - an outstanding option
that allows you to view essential motoring functions projected onto
the lower windshield. The comfort features you'd want in a daily
driver are all on hand, including air conditioning that's at the
top of its game, an AM/FM/CD player, tilt steering, cruise control
and power windows, power door locks and power seats. The storage
area in back looks as if it's seen very little action in its
time.
Even after witnessing just how well looked after this 'Vette has
been, you'll likely be impressed with the clean order of its engine
compartment. Every surface you come across - from the gun metal
gray of the engine's branded valve covers to the induction system
sitting up front to feed the engine a supply of cold, dense air -
looks as if it's just been steam cleaned. The drivetrain affords
just the compelling, hands-on driving experience an agile performer
like this deserves, in the form of a 5.7 liter LS1 V8 joining
forces with a smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission. The
engine is good for 350 horsepower and sounds great as it sings into
its dual exhaust. Smooth power steering combines with power disc
brakes at all four corners to provide this drop top with easy
navigation and dependable, fade-resistant stopping power.
