For Sale: 2000 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

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!
