Vehicle Description
1999 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 1999 Corvette in coupe form. With over 60 models
representing nearly every year, this is only the second model in
house from 1999! A garage kept one owner car, played with, then
neatly put away for the next time. We now have a low, low mileage,
(33,108 confirmed), car that has led a good life, and is now
offered for another's enjoyment.
Exterior
Near perfect Light Pewter Metallic 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 smoked glass see
through roof, and large greenhouse, (it's a gas...er glass), rear
glass are seen for the roofline. This style Corvette wins the award
for best rear styling with the round embedded tail lights, and the
quad exhaust piercing out the center of the integrated rear bumper.
17" 5 spoke polished wheels are upfront and 18" in the rear.
Interior
Sporty charcoal black 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 large built in Bose speaker is under the curved
pull handle/power toggle panel on each door. The leather for seats
is in good condition with a few wrinkles and areas of wear, but far
from terrible. Active handling, along with cruise control, power
seats, power mirrors, power telescoping steering wheel all wrapped
up in a curved design 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 345hp 5.7Liter LS1 V8 is seen with a front flip of
the hood. This has EFI, and has a Tremec T56 6-speed automatic
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 independent suspension is seen both front and back
as are 4-wheel power disc brakes. Chrome exhaust tips and stainless
steel mufflers are also noted.
Drive-Ability
An extremely quick starter, and runner. The 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
6-speed. All the power options are functional, and the stereo
sounds fab!
ONLY the second 1999 Corvette currently in inventory, and this one
is well cared for and has super low original miles put on. This was
played with then nicely put away in a temp controlled 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!
