Vehicle Description
Of course a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is going to have
extra appeal when it's done in red. But this one is irresistible
when you really start to see the exceptional care that comes from a
two-owner car with such low mileage. So while it's easy to love a
loaded V8 drop-top, you can also tell this one is preserved for a
level for collectors.
Red is a true iconic color for Corvette, and so a factory Torch Red
car always has appeal. Plus, the way the panels still fit on this
aerodynamically smooth body means the bold color also retains a
sleek shine. This shows all the right signs of being the factory
application, and the well-respected style is what you get on a car
that has averaged less than 650 miles annually. Even the
presentation of the stock alloys shows this was parked with care
during those few times this hit the road. So this one makes for a
great way to celebrate the new class of classic cars. After all,
the quarter-century mark, and so it will be eligible for vintage
car registration soon in many areas. And such a sleek and preserved
machine will look awesome with antique plates.
The tan convertible top is a timelessly sophisticated color to have
against the bold red. So we're glad to see a Light Oak tan interior
waiting for you when you take the roof down. Low mileage means
little seat time, and so the interior looks exceptionally
preserved. There were even some careful details, like the clear
plastic floor mats and center console wrap that protect some of the
high traffic areas. More than just preserved, you'll love this one
because it's loaded with the best features. This includes power
seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual
airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo by Bose.
Plus, dual-zone automatic A/C climate control means you and your
passenger can individually choose the ideal temperature for
top-down motoring.
Part of what makes an early C5 so desirable is what's under the
hood. The 5.7-liter LS1 V8 was part of a new generation at GM. This
was the car that was built from day one to provide a big leap in
power while also being as easy to drive as any modern fuel-injected
machine. It makes a car like this drop-top a true grand touring
machine. After all, the four-wheel disc brakes and fully
independent suspension are perfect for the backroads. And there's
also the four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power
steering, and cruise control for when it's time for those weekend
getaways down the interstate. The large trunk even means the golf
clubs come with you on vacation! So while this is a preserved
modern classic, you owe it to yourself to experience a few road
trips in America's sports car.
This convertible is exceptionally clean, right down to the
undercarriage. It's the kind of preserved Corvette that has been
kept the way you would have had done from day one. So if you're a
collector, you know you need to call today!
