Vehicle Description
Beautiful colors, low mileage, six-speed stick, and the Z51
performance handling package - this 2005 Chevrolet Corvette is the
car you'll love today and will continue to be admired through the
years.
Daytona Sunset Orange is a terrific factory color. It's a bright
finish with a metallic element, so it loves to radiate in the
sunshine. It was only offered for a couple of years on the C6, and
this is less than 3,000 made in 2005. Someone else thought it was
special, too, and so the paint has a clear vinyl wrap protecting
the paint. And since this one has never been the kind of car to see
the daily grind (averaging less than 950 miles annually,) the whole
package looks exceptionally preserved. Another reason why this one
gets treated special is because this is the debut year for the C6.
The low hood, crisp aerodynamic lines, and Ferrari-like covered
headlights created a car that was clearly a Corvette but blazed its
own new performance legacy.
Black interiors have a long history of being the preferred choice
for cars with power and style. So you'll love taking out the targa
roof and sharing this total package with the world. The C6 interior
brought the Corvette to the forefront of technology, and you see it
so well on this loaded example. The new C6 interior brought the
Corvette to the forefront of technology, and you see it so well on
this loaded example. It has great options like the heads-up display
and the AM/FM/CD Bose stereo with a large navigation screen. The
Ebony leather bucket seats are supportive and comfortable without
being confining. Plus, there are a ton of great features in this
premium 'Vette, including power seats, power windows, power locks,
tilt steering column, cruise control, heated side mirrors, keyless
entry/alarm, and keyless ignition. Because this is a modern
classic, you get modern safety features like dual airbags, side
airbags, anti-lock brakes, and Xenon headlights. You'll love the
dual zone automatic climate control. It means you and your
passenger can individually stay comfortable with the roof out
nearly all year long.
Another great reason to appreciate the 2005 Corvette was it debuted
the 6.0-liter LS2 motor. It's the numbers-matching motor, and it's
rated at 400 hp right from the factory. Oh yes, it rivals the
storied ZR-1 C4s. The LS-series of engines are terrific
fuel-injected powerhouses, and you get to take full control of it
thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. It only gets better
with the optional Z51 Performance Handling package. It not only
upgrades the four-wheel disc brakes to cross-drilled rotors, but it
also adds stabilizer bars, performance springs, and other premium
features that make this 'Vette feel like the C5 Z06 when it's time
to drive it hard. The Corvette also settles back into commuter duty
easily thanks to great anytime driving features like cruise control
and power steering.
This is a desirable first-year C6 Z51, and it has been kept in
collectible condition, right down to the paperwork. That's why the
sale comes complete with the original window sticker, owner's
manual, and factory buildsheet. So don't miss your chance at a
terrific modern classic. Call now!
