Vehicle Description
A 2001 Chevrolet Corvette convertible presented in a pristine
triple-black and with a six-speed manual. That's the ideal recipe
for both a great driver and a fine collectible. So when it's also a
low-mileage and pristinely-kept speed machine, you know the deal is
irresistible.
This convertible gives a seriously mean first impression. The black
has the kind of rolling shine across the bodywork that it looks
like this C5 wants to slip through the night. When it looks this
clean and sleek, it's a clear indication that the drop-top pretty
much only left the garage on sunny days and clear nights (averaging
only about 1,300 miles annually is also a direct indicator of
special use and care.) Of course, when it comes to shine, a proper
American classic deserves some chrome. So this one has the optional
deluxe high polish five-spoke wheels. But the best feature of the
fifth generation (C5) car is the distinctive low, long hood of the
Corvette that gives it a classic appearance connecting it with
previous generations.
The all-black interior completes a terrific total package, because
combined with the exterior and folding roof, this makes the
ultra-desirable triple-black. Just like the outside appearance, the
inside has also been treated with amazing care. This one had just
about every option box checked, which means it has plenty of great
modern features. It includes a leather-wrapped sports steering
wheel, power steering, dual airbags, power windows, power locks,
anti-theft system, keyless entry/alarm, and dual zone automatic A/C
climate control. There's even the windshield head-up display (HUD).
Plus, the radio has been upgraded to a modern touchscreen
infotainment unit that runs the AM/FM/XM stereo, Bluetooth, and
backup camera (purists will be happy to know the stock radio comes
with the sale, too.) The leather bucket seats have a deep color,
supple feel, and they power adjust to the ideal position. Most
family-sized convertibles don't even offer a real trunk, but this
personal sportscar has more than enough storage space for a
two-person road trip. You can actually go on a golf holiday with
the clubs and the luggage neatly stowed out of the way even when
the top is down. Now that's a recipe for a great driving
weekend!
Under the hood is the original 5.7-liter LS1 V8. This fuel-injected
powerhouse looks just as fresh as the rest of the car. Even the
clean undercarriage photos show many of the factory labels still
affixed. But despite this exceptional preservation, we know you
won't be able to resist adding to the low odometer. Corvettes are
all built to be driving machines, and this one really understands
that. After all, the majority of 2001 Corvettes were automatics,
but this one gives you the control over the V8 power with a
six-speed manual transmission. It combines with the fully
independent sports suspension and four-wheel disc brakes to be a
terrific sports car. This even has grippy Michelin Pilot Sport
tires.
The sale comes complete with a reproduction window sticker, owner's
manual, and maintenance records. This car has the style, features,
and care you want from a cut-above modern classic. Call now!
