Take a good look at this 2003 Corvette. It is a 1-owner 50th Anniversary edition coupe with only 1,700 miles. Talk about mint condition! It looks, smells, and sounds like new. Of course, it has all the 50th Anniversary equipment including magnetic ride control and head-up display, but this one is further optioned with the dual roof package (still in the wrapper), performance axle ratio, and more. It all made for a $51,655 sticker price in 2003 - almost $92,000 in today’s dollars.
This Corvette was bought new from Robbins Chevrolet in Humble, Texas. It remained with its single owner in a climate controlled building for all these years. Given such low mileage it was obviously driven very infrequently, averaging a mere 80 miles per year. The exterior is finished in brilliant Xirallic Crystal red metallic paint which was only available on the 50th Anniversary cars. This package also included champagne colored wheels (how appropriate) which retain their original Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Special factory badging is also present along with optional body side moldings.
The engine is Chevrolet’s aluminum LS1 producing 350 hp, while the rear mounted transmission is the 4L60E 4-speed automatic overdrive feeding the optional 3.15 performance rear axle. The engine compartment has been fitted with a few color-matched covers to further its appearance (all original pieces are included). 2003 was the first year for the magnetic selective ride control feature which was standard on the Anniversary package and allows Touring and Sport settings. The C5 also provides power ABS disc brakes with dynamic proportioning provide safe stopping power at any speed. And of course this Corvette has fantastic acceleration and is easily capable of a low 13-second quarter mile.
The 50th Anniversary equipment continues with the special Shale leather interior, again only available with this package. It combines a lighter beige-gray on the seats and carpeting with a darker tone on the dash, center console, and upper door panels. It’s a very classy look and a wonderful match with the exterior. Everything appears as new and works properly. This one also has the optional 12-disc CD changer located in the trunk, while the second roof panel (transparent) has never been installed and retains its factory protective film. All manuals are present along with the special leather binder. You also get the original window sticker along with a laminated copy and build sheet.
The C5 Corvette is a landmark design that brought the Corvette onto the world stage of sports cars. From the LS engine to the hydroformed frame, it was a total redesign that put the brand back in front. This car represents all that and more, being a 50th Anniversary package in impeccable condition with remarkably few miles. All for less than half its present day equivalent MSRP. Whether you are a die-hard Corvette enthusiast or a car collector who appreciates the best, this one will not disappoint.
