Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Corvette didn't always call Kentucky home, however in 1953, the
first 300 were built by hand in Flint, Michigan, just after General
Motors unveiled the Corvette as a "dream car" at the Motorama show
in New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel. The following year, production
moved to St. Louis. In June of 1981, Corvette production
transferred from St. Louis to Bowling Green, Kentucky. The facility
has remained the exclusive home of the Corvette for over 30 years.
Known around the world as America's sports car, the Corvette
exemplifies the definition of innovation.
For consignment here at Classic Auto Mall is a 1999 Corvette. With
over 65 plus Corvette models here representing nearly every year,
this is only the second 1999! A nice clean example, with a
beautiful red exterior, pristine canvas convertible top in
contrasting tan, and a tan and black leather interior, it was
played with then neatly put away for the next time, not unlike a
favorite toy!
Exterior
Near perfect Torch Red fiberglass is draped over the
high-performance chassis of this car. Hidden headlights, and
integrated bumpers provide the aero package that can whisk you down
the highway with just a touch of the throttle. A tan canvas
convertible top, which functions flawlessly is in very nice
condition, and has a clear glass rear window. This style Corvette
wins the award for best rear styling with the round imbedded
taillights, and the quad exhaust piercing out the center of the
integrated rear bumper. 17" 5-spoke polished wheels are upfront and
18" in the rear.
Interior
Sporty tan leather buckets grab you with a sit inside. Black door
panels with nearly every power control one could want, border these
buckets. Leather is in good condition and holding up very nicely. A
heads-up display, along with cruise control, a power memory seat,
power telescoping steering wheel all wrapped up in a curved dash
that presents very clean. Black carpet floods the floors and is in
very nice condition. Ride control and active handling knobs are
conveniently located just behind the shift lever.
Drivetrain
A well-manicured 345HP 5.7Liter LS1 V8 is seen with a front flip of
the hood. This has EFI, and a T56 6-speed manual transmission
attached. The 3.42 upgraded rear axle configuration, and active
handling package handle the power this active mill produces.
Undercarriage
Extreme clean sums it up underneath looking very close to showroom
with a touch of patina from just plain old enjoying this fine
sports car. C5 Corvette suspension all around as are 4-wheel power
disc brakes. Noted are added slotted and cross drilled brake
rotors.
Drive-Ability
An extremely quick starter, and runner. This LS1 V8 can push this
car very quickly up to speed, and due to the comfortable interior,
even with the top down, it is hard to tell exactly how fast you are
really traveling. Overall a good driving experience, and easy
manual shifter. All the power options are functional, and the
stereo sounds fab!
The second of only 2 1999 Corvettes currently in inventory, and
this one is well cared for, played with and nicely put away in a
temp controlled garage, well maintained, and is just a fun car to
drive. Nothing like being low to the ground and taking a corner
like it is not even there...Wild!
