Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars is proud to digitally present this 1998
Chevrolet Corvette Convertible.The 5th generation of corvette began
in 1997 with a new redesign which included a more ridged frame that
allowed for better handling with a 50-50 weight distribution.
Transmission was also upgraded and moved to allow for a rear
mounted trans-axil assembly. In 1998 the C5 convertible was
introduced and with the upgrades and changes allowed for a better
driving experience for the convertible variant with less body
twisting. The C5 corvette convertible also allowed for a actual
trunk area with the convertible top which is something that has not
been seen since the 1962 model year.This 1998 corvette is in a very
nice gray paint from the beautiful wedge corvette front end to the
high shoulder and wide rear. The C5 has a very distinctive
aggressive side body lines reminiscent of the older mako shark
styling of the 1960's. The pop-up headlights and circle taillights
with the quad upgraded Borla chrome exhaust tips round out the
corvette look. The engine is the standard fuel injected 5.7 litter
V8 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which is a great
compromise of fuel economy and the fun of standard transmission.
The interior has a nice black and silver color scheme that really
works with the exterior. Interior features include nice black
leather bucket seats with seat belts, a black matching dash with
white lettering gauges and switches. Center console features the AC
Delco theft lock factory AM/FM/CD radio and dual climate controls.
Rounding out the rear of the cockpit style interior is the storage
compartment that is divided by the color matching center support
with a predominant large checker flag/Chevrolet flag emblem.This is
a great C5 Corvette so don't miss out.
