Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
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" in 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. GM began
production of the esteemed Corvette in Bowling Green in 1981, and
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, a 1999 Corvette. With over 55 models representing
nearly every year, this is only the second model in house from
1999! An original two owner car, played with, then neatly put away
for the next time, we now have a low, low mileage (19,255
confirmed) car that has led a good life, and is now offered for
another's enjoyment.
Exterior
Near perfect black 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 glass see through roof, and large
greenhouse (it's a gas!) rear glass are seen for the roofline. 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 Firethorn Red leather buckets grab you as you take a seat
inside the cockpit. Black door panel uppers, with nearly every
power control one could want border these buckets. A red lower
molded plastic with large built in Bose speaker is under the curved
pull handle/power toggle panel on each door. Leather for seats is
in good condition with a few wrinkles, and areas of wear, but far
from terrible. 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 cleanly. Red carpet floods the
floors and is in very nice condition. An oversized glove box is
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 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission
attached. The 2.73 limited slip rear axle configuration is on to
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 suspension is seen both front and back as are
4-wheel power disc brakes. Chrome exhaust tips are also noted.
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,
it is hard to tell exactly how fast you are really traveling.
Overall a good driving experience, and smooth shifting for the
automatic. All the power options are functional, and the stereo
sounds fab!
ONLY the second 1999 Corvette currently in inventory, and this one
is well cared for, has super low original miles put on. This was
played with then 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!
