Vehicle Description
An unusually clean, showroom-type look on a car that first saw
asphalt 18 years ago? It's no illusion. This 2001 Chevrolet
Corvette convertible has only logged 49,370 miles in its lifetime -
just under five years of driving, by most standards - and has never
strayed far from home to encounter salted roads or other corrosive
influences.
Its black 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
major mishaps to dampen your enthusiasm, only a wet-looking shine
and even coloring from front to back. It's not perfect but shows
very little wear and tear and 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 on those
plush seats. The ergonomically designed front buckets 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 automatic transmission to make up a low-effort, high reward
drivetrain that, with just 49,370 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 blackwall tires.
The weather is getting warmer, making this 2001 Chevrolet Corvette
convertible all the more inviting. With lots of maintenance records
showing off a life of careful ownership, this C5 is ready to hit
the road for years to come. Call today!
