Vehicle Description
An unusually clean, showroom-type look on a car that first saw
asphalt 17 years ago? It's no illusion. This 2001 Chevrolet
Corvette convertible has only logged about 20,000 miles in its
lifetime - just over a year and a half's worth of driving, by most
standards - boasts a clean history report, and has never strayed
far from home to encounter salted roads or other corrosive
influences.
Its Torch Red exterior is a stunner - it's a pulse-quickening shade
that provides maximum visual impact on a car whose sleek
aerodynamic shape attracts attention to begin with. As you draw
closer, you'll see the paint is in great shape, with no evidence of
mishaps to dampen your enthusiasm, only a wet-looking shine and
even coloring from front to back. As that clean AutoCheck report
will attest, this Chevy has steered clear of unintended mergers
with other vehicles while on the road - you can't help but notice
just how even the gaps between its body panels are, and how the
curvature of its front fenders meets the top line of the doors with
no visible variation. No doubt, your first inclination is to
picture yourself behind the wheel, carving canyon corners with the
top down on a sunny day, but when the weather won't cooperate, its
black convertible top is in good shape, sealing well to keep you
protected and featuring a glass window in back that's armed with a
defroster to keep it clear.
The black leather interior beckons you to climb behind the wheel.
Its shade would normally make it susceptible to the ravages of the
sun, but there's no evidence of UV damage to be found. The
ergonomically designed front bucket seats don't show much wear
either, and their bolsters still perform as intended to keep you in
place while bearing into turns. As you put this Corvette through
its paces, you'll no doubt appreciate its inventive heads up
display - all the functions you'd want to keep tabs on are
conveniently projected onto the lower windshield, eliminating the
need to look down at the gauges in the cluster. The comfort
features you'd want in a daily driver are all here, including air
conditioning, an AM/FM/CD player, a steering column that both tilts
and telescopes into the perfect position, cruise control and power
windows, door locks and seats. Driver and passenger airbags provide
an added measure of safety and the onboard anti-theft system will
help ensure that this great-looking car doesn't make any unintended
departures. The storage area in back is just as tidy as you could
want, with a well-vacuumed expanse of carpet lining its floor.
Raise the hood and you'll find that the years have also been kind
to the occupants of the very clean engine compartment that shows
not a wire out of place and fresh-looking hoses. Everything remains
in its original configuration here - there's not much of a
temptation to make changes with the arsenal of top notch components
this Chevy started out with. A 5.7 liter LS1 engine partners with a
4-speed transmission to make up a low-effort, high reward
drivetrain that, with just 20,000 miles on the odometer, is just
now broken in and hitting its peak. Power steering and 4-wheel
anti-lock power disc brakes make this open air 'Vette a nimble
performer that can stop on a dime. This American sports car sits on
a set of chrome Corvette wheels - 17" in front and 18" in back -
wrapped with Goodyear Eagle tires.
The weather is getting warmer, making this 2001 Chevrolet Corvette
convertible all the more inviting. Call today!
