Vehicle Description
2000 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 2000 Corvette. With over 75 models representing
nearly every year, this is only the model from the year 2000 to
grace our hallowed halls! An original unmolested car, played with,
then neatly put away for the next time, we now have a low, low
mileage (35,861 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 with faux
carbon fiber decals on the left and right edges, 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
embedded taillights, and the quad exhaust piercing out the center
of the integrated rear bumper. Upgraded 17" 5 spoke chrome wheels
are upfront and 18" in the rear.
Interior
Sporty Ebony 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 black lower molded plastic
with a 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 aging 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. Black 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 350hp 5.7Liter LS1 V8 is seen with a front flip of
the hood. This has EFI, and a T5 6 -speed manual transmission
attached. The 3.42 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
manual 6-speed. All the power options are functional, and the
stereo sounds fab!
The ONLY 2000 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 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!
