Vehicle Description
2003 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Zora Arkus-Duntov (December 25, 1909 - April 21, 1996) was a
Belgian-born American engineer whose work on the Chevrolet Corvette
earned him the nickname "Father of the Corvette." He is sometimes
erroneously referred to as the inventor of the Corvette, whereas
that title belongs to Harley Earl. He was also a successful racing
driver, taking class victories in 1954 and 1955 at the 24 Heures du
Mans.
For consignment a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. Corvette was
celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2003, and did have an early
release of a special paint scheme which is on this car and called
50th Anniversary Red. And as they say, "the rest is history".
Exterior
50th anniversary red drapes the exterior of this car. Exterior add
ons include heated outside mirrors, manual folding top with rear
glass and defroster, halogen headlamps, and chrome exhaust tips,
which are gathered together in the center of the rear roll pan. All
black trimmings, the Corvette cove on the front quarter harkens
back 50 years, and a tan convertible canvas top is like new, and
polished aluminum wheels are all around.
Interior
Shale (off white) leather, power adjustable, high back buckets
embroidered with "Corvette" name and 50th anniversary crossed flags
await you. Sliding in will put you into a cockpit with an
AM/FM/10xCD sound system with Bose Speakers, dual zone electronic
A/C, a driver's info center on the dash above the console, cruise
control, and power locks and power windows. A heads-up display is
seen as are very clean shale colored carpeting throughout.
Drivetrain
The standard 5.7 Liter LS1 Fuel Injected V8 nestled under the
forward tipping hood, in a clean engine bay, is attached to a 4L60E
4 speed electronic automatic transmission. The rear axle weighs in
at 2.73.
Undercarriage
Very clean, nothing but black painted steel, cast aluminum
suspension and stainless steel. Very sound with no rust or surface
rust. Active handling, traction control, and 4 wheel disc brakes
with drilled and slotted rotors and ABS are noted.
Drive-Ability
This Corvette in 50th anniversary red and a convertible version is
a stunner. Plenty of power after a quick start and warmup, and test
track was no match for this vehicle. It ran great and consigner
states a new ECBM unit was recently installed. All was working
except for the climate control display, the fan still functions as
does the different position settings.
An Anniversary special edition of which only 500 examples were
produced so a bit rare, and all in excellent condition.
