Vehicle Description
With a sought-after exterior color and a clean record, this 2000
Chevrolet Corvette will conjure up images of carefree open-air
motoring with just one look. It has also logged a meager 81,000
miles throughout its lifetime, so it's well-positioned to provide
its next lucky owner with plenty of future driving enjoyment.
Fifth-generation Corvettes like this one benefitted from a major
design that equipped them with substantially improved aerodynamics
over the preceding generation. This '00 is the possessor of an
unusually low 0.29 drag coefficient that proves how effective that
redesign was. Look at its sharply angled windshield and gracefully
flowing body lines; you can easily picture it acing a wind tunnel
test. Its design improvements also afford it an impressively low
weight and a near 50/50 weight distribution, yielding substantial
dividends in acceleration and handling. Having been spared the
indignity of ever running into an immovable object during its time
on the road, this Corvette sports straight, well-aligned body
panels from front to back and doors that open and shut very
smoothly. The Navy-blue paint it wears is a great color -
eye-catching but not overpowering. Should the skies darken while
you're cruising the asphalt, the accompanying tan canvas
convertible top locks into place and features a clear glass rear
window.
Inside the doors awaits an example of the driver-centric interiors
that Corvettes have come to be known for over the years. Its tan
color is a nice contrast to the darker shade of the exterior. A
pair of high-backed, contoured bucket seats provide plenty of
support during spirited driving and, just to the right of the
steering wheel, an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/DVD pairs with a sizable
touchscreen display to offer plenty of audio functionality.
Additional interior features include cruise control, air
conditioning that blows cold and firm, power seats, windows,
mirrors, and door locks, a rear window defogger - always a welcome
feature on a convertible - a steering column that tilts and
telescopes, and a backup camera. A Chevy heads-up display is also
on board and in good working condition, so you'll never have to
take your eyes off the road to keep tabs on vital motoring
functions.
This sharp looking convertible is powered by a fuel-injected
5.7-liter LS1 V8 that's still running fine. The engine starts right
up, pulls strong, and sends a nice, deep note out of the factory
dual exhaust as it teams with a four-speed 4L60E automatic
transmission that will provide a hassle-free experience should you
find yourself in stop-and-go traffic. A low-to-the-ground stance
combines with the design improvements we mentioned earlier and a
top-notch suspension system at both ends to make this Corvette an
absolute blast to take through hairpin turns. Anti-lock power disc
brakes at all four corners feature sizable calipers, bringing
dependable low-effort stops when called upon. This early millennium
droptop cruises on a set of spoked Corvette wheels - 17" in front
and 18" in back - wrapped with Nexen N5000 tires. A look at the
undercarriage will show that, despite this Chevy's years of
service, there are no rust issues to worry about.
This 2000 Chevrolet Corvette would be a perfect fit for the
enthusiast who enjoys a top-down driving experience at the helm of
an iconic ride. Call today!
