Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Corvette
The Corvette was first introduced in 1953 and has remained one of
the most prominent American sports cars. It is still being produced
to this day and they have a huge following. There was a slight drop
in sales for the 4th generation so they were completely redesigned
from the ground up for the C5 5th generation. These packed in a ton
of innovations and were well received by the public. This 1999
belongs to that group of C5s and has a total of 45,600 original
miles. It has never been wrecked and has a clean Carfax. It has
been well cared for since new and is in excellent condition. It is
the coupe body style in the original Torch Red paint which is in
excellent condition. The glass is all in great shape throughout
with no issues and is all tinted. It rides on very nice 5 spoke
chrome wheels with Nexen low profile tires.
These Corvettes had plenty of power with a 5.7L all aluminum LS1
motor that puts out around 345hp. Surprisingly despite all that
power these cars were able to achieve up to 28 mpg on the highway.
This was accomplished by the significantly reduced weight with a
50/50 distribution compared to the previous generation. The motor
is combined with a 6 speed manual transmission that shifts
smoothly. Mechanically the car is all stock and everything works
properly. Check out the table below to get an idea of some of the
stock specs.

The interior of the car is all Black and in great condition.
Interior upholstery is always one of the first places you start to
see wear/tear so you can tell this one has been taken really good
care of. It has the dual high back bucket seats that sit to each
side of the factory center console. The dash is all the original
layout and the gauges, switches, etc all work properly.
This is a great looking car and these are always so fun to drive.
It comes with a clear title and needs nothing.
It is being offered up at the very reasonable $19,900.00!
