Vehicle Description
2001 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
The Corvette crossed flag logo originally started out by using an
American Flag, crossed with a checkered flag. Federal law prohibits
the use of the flag in any advertising, so they had to come up with
another flag. Chevrolet being of French origin, they decided to use
at the French symbol for peace, the Fleur-de-lis, with the
checkered flag. Over the years it has gone through many iterations,
but the basic principles still exist.
For consignment a C5 Corvette with a LS1 engine in very nice
condition with only 26,538 original miles.
Exterior
Bathed in Dark Navy Blue Metallic, all panels are straight and
true, and the gaps are good, as expected for fiberglass. There is a
removable center roof panel that covers from the swept back
windscreen to a roll bar that has the curved rear glass on the
other side of it. We note a much more rounded design, almost
bulbous for this generation, with indented side panels with an air
intake in the front quarters. Standard polished aluminum wheels are
all around, and 4 sweet sounding chromed exhaust pipes exit center
stage in the rear.
Interior
Utilizing a combination of RPO 921 or Light Oak leather, curvaceous
buckets are form fitted to the driver and passenger and sit in
front of a black dash which is showing the same undulating
curvature, all the while housing key analog but backlit
instrumentation. A digital odometer reads 25,539 miles and is title
verified to be original, putting this car in low mileage clocked
territory. Other features seen are an AM/FM/CD player radio, power
windows, power locks, climate control, an active handling mode
button, and a heads-up display. A large darker version of the Oak
Tan is seen in the carpeting which floods the floors, and the rear
storage area, accessible with the large curved glass pane
lifting.
Drivetrain
An electronic fuel injected 350ci V8 is attached to a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission.
Undercarriage
I could use the word showroom here and for an undercarriage even
with low miles one sees some signs usage, however this
undercarriage is pristine. Independent suspension and power disc
brakes are seen all around.
A low mileage well cared for and maintained C5 that runs like a
clock is in overall very nice condition and performs as expected.
With 350HP for 2001, the Corvette was making a comeback from the
emissions regulation years, and this one is shining example.
