Vehicle Description
We get excited about collector-grade Corvettes here at Streetside,
because we know the Corvette community is one of the best at
understanding how special they are. For example, this low-mileage
2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Special Edition
convertible is highly original and highly optioned. So we know that
this will get a lot of attention from the right people.
Chevy does a good job of celebrating the milestones correctly, and
the paint is a great example here. The Anniversary Red Metallic is
a specially brewed burgundy that looks like candy, and dares you to
touch its impossibly smooth surface. And since this two-owner
droptop has averaged less than 1,500 miles annually, you won't be
surprised at this special paint's exceptional condition. It has a
luster in the sunlight that will fill you with pride of ownership,
and that's always a great thing in a sunshine-friendly convertible.
Plus, the Champagne-colored aluminum wheels are a great finishing
touch that coordinates nicely with the soft top color. Chevrolet
really let this these hues do most of the talking for the car, and
that's why they didn't need to go overboard with badging - just a
tasteful commemorative emblem on each fender and a special badge up
front.
These special edition cars received the Shale leather interior, and
as you would expect from such a low mileage convertible, it has an
exceptional presentation (even plastic floor mats have protected
the carpeting.) Just like the exterior, this goes for subtle
elegance in commemorating the golden anniversary with special
embroidery in the power-adjusting leather seats. And as a special
car, it also came from the factory loaded with features like power
windows, power locks, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control,
cruise control, a head-up display (HUD), power mirrors, and a
premium Bose AM/FM/cassette stereo with a cd changer in the trunk
that still plays your tunes loud and clear even if your running at
high speeds with the top down. This modern classic also comes with
modern safety features such as dual front airbags and anti-lock
brakes. Most family-sized convertibles don't even offer a real
trunk, but this personal sports car has more than enough storage
space for a two-person road trip.
Under the hood is the original aluminum LS1, and it looks as fresh
as day one on this well-respected anniversary convertible. This
fuel-injected V8 has 350 hp and plenty of torque on tap, so it
easily fulfills the Corvette's performance image. Best of all, you
can dial in how mild or wild you want your ride with the magnetic
ride control - a technological advance that even Ferrari eventually
used. It also comes with great driver features like a four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, four-wheel disc
brakes. So while this is a collector-grade car, it also will be
tough to resist adding a few more miles to the odometer.
Corvette people know the value of having a special edition in such
a well-preserved and stock condition. The sale even comes with the
special 50th anniversary owner's packet. This is a collector
Corvette that future generations will continue to appreciate. Don't
miss out, call today!
