Vehicle Description
Clean C5 in timeless Pewter on tan color combination. 62,491
original miles. Clean CarFax. Loaded with options including sport
seats, dual zone climate control, and more. Upgraded with chrome
Z06 wheels. Affordable fun!Right now, the C5 Corvette might just be
the biggest bang for the buck in the automotive universe. Fast,
comfortable, efficient, reliable, and still great to look at, it's
everything that's awesome about the Corvette, all at a bargain
price. Dress it in lovely Pewter Metallic and you get a car that
looks as sophisticated as it is. With just over 62,000 original
miles, this Corvette coupe delivers the kind of high performance
fun that should cost a lot more than a 4-year-old Hyundai. Finish
quality on the cars coming out of Bowling Green is better than
average, and even after 25 years (has it been that long?) this one
still looks great. A big part of that is the fact that most
Corvettes?this one included?are fair-weather toys that never have
to fight through the weather or the daily grind. And, of course,
Corvette fans are dedicated to keeping their cars in top condition,
so this Corvette has received more than its fair share of wax jobs.
The Pewter metallic is a beautiful choice, subtle and sophisticated
and a great contrast to all the red and black Corvettes out there.
If you want a good-looking C5, this is a fantastic choice!The C5
was a big deal because of the interior. For one, the tall side
sills of the C4 were gone, making this the most user-friendly
Corvette ever built. Easy to climb aboard and comfortable once
you're in there, it was revolutionary when it hit the streets.
Today, those optional sport seats are still all-day comfortable and
wear leather upholstery that still looks great thanks to proper
care over the years. Gauges are big and bright and do a little
dance every time you key it up, which is still cool today, and
things like the A/C, stereo, windows, seats, and other features
work like they should. The solid roof is removable and stows easily
in the trunk, which is big enough for the Corvette to be used as a
real-world vehicle. You want a Corvette that's easy to live with,
this is it.Power comes from the first of the LS-motors, the LS1.
With 345 horsepower on tap, it was no slouch in the performance
department, and the last 25 years have proven that it's virtually
indestructible. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it's
civilized, but when you plant your right foot, things do happen in
a big hurry. This one is entirely stock, which means reliability is
unaffected and it obviously hasn't been raced or abused. It's
ultra-clean under the hood, too, with plenty of signs that this car
has always been loved. Heck, even the original decals are still in
place! Underneath, it is equally tidy with its innovative balsawood
floors and hydro-formed frame rails, as well as the aluminum
cradles for the engine and rear-mounted transmission. The exhaust
is stock so it's mellow and easy on the ears at speed, with just
enough of a bark to sound like a Corvette. A few dress-up parts add
some flash on the brake calipers and out back, which is the view
most people get, and the stance is just about perfect. Add in those
flashy chrome Z06 wheels and staggered 245/45/17 front and
275/40/18 rear Goodyear radials, and you get a great-looking
Corvette that's ready to rock. This car also comes with extras like
a set of door sill guards and a large file of maintenance
receipts.Big fun, little price, that's the C5 Corvette. This one
has been loved and maintained, so it's ready for a new owner to
find out why the Corvette world is so awesome. Easy to live with
and still entertaining as hell to drive, this is the one to own if
you just want to have some fun without a big commitment. Don't
think too hard, just get in and go. Call today!Harwood Motors
