For Sale: 1997 Chevrolet Corvette in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

The 1997 Chevrolet Corvette will always be a nice collectible because it was the first year for the C5. And this one is in an especially rare color. But the true heart of this one appeal is in its full individual style. The exterior, interior, and even the engine bay have a custom appearance for a beautiful true blue attitude.

Nassau Blue is a beautiful color, and so we have no explanation for why it was so unpopular. In fact, the records show that less than 300 cars were given this ocean-like hue in the C5's first year. So while more Corvette fans chose red back in the day, it means this one has its exceptional rarity locked in. This car has only averaged under 2,200 miles annually, but you'll see plenty of added investments that make this one feel even fresher than that. There's a full ground effects body kit that includes a two-piece chin spoiler, and a full-width rear spoiler. There's a nice silver streak to the package with the sports stripe, rocker decals, whinnied banner, and upgraded alloys. Even the special Nassau Blue was resprayed to keep the full package looking quite unique.

Another piece that turns this rare C5 into a likely one-of-one is the interior. Blue was not on the options list for 1997 or even the entire C5's run. Instead, this is a fresher and more luxurious custom leather setup. There's a premium style where even the dash and airbag cover were upgraded for a comprehensive appearance. And the diamond stitching on the doors and seats is a terrific upper-class touch. You only now get this level of color choice and luxury from the new C8 Corvette, and so it makes for a cool-looking addition to this classic. More than just looking awesome, this is loaded with all the best features. It includes cold-blowing dual-zone automatic climate control, power windows, power mirrors, dual airbags, and AM/FM/CD stereo with speakers by Bose. Your bucket seat power adjusts to the ideal driving position. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is on a tilt column to give you a clear view of the cool white gauge package.

The engine bay continues the custom style with a terrific mix of blue and polish. You can tell this one was made to be shown off whenever you want. And more than just stylish, a proper Corvette was made to be driven. After all, the 5.7-liter LS1 fuel-injected V8 is a terrific powerhouse that gives America's sports car an impressive 345 horsepower. Features like cruise control, power steering, and the four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive make for a fine grand touring car. And the fully independent sports suspension and four-wheel power disc brakes know how to make any road fun.

This much distinction and investment in a rare Corvette is especially impressive when you factor in the affordable price. That's why you know you can't miss this deal. Call today!!!
