The 1997 Chevrolet Corvette represents the first year of the C5,
and this example certainly makes it memorable. With only 41,065
carefully driven miles from new, and details like the
factory-applied Arctic White paint, polished C6 ZR1 alloys, and LS1
motor are looking exceptionally well-kept.
Corvette engineers crafted this fifth-generation sports car with
flowing curves and aggressive angles that still look spectacular
today. The removable targa top provides open-air driving enjoyment
when desired. Upgraded chrome C6 Z06-style 17-inch wheels provide
the perfect visual anchor, while the meaty tires staggered
275/40ZR17 front and 295/35ZR17 rear, offer substantial contact
patches for maximum grip during spirited driving maneuvers.
The interior features Firethorn Red leather, one of the rarest
options for 1997. It was one of only three interior color options,
but it is believed less than 728 were produced in this exciting
color. The supportive bucket seats hold occupants firmly in place
during aggressive cornering, while providing long-distance comfort
for extended cruising sessions. The instrument panel displays vital
information with classic Corvette clarity, putting critical data
directly in the driver's field of vision. Luxury touches abound
with power windows, power locks, and a climate control system that
maintains perfect cabin temperatures. The AM/FM/CD stereo system
with Bose speakers stands ready to provide the soundtrack for your
next road adventure.
Lifting the hood reveals the heartbeat of this iconic Corvette. The
5.7 Liter LS-1 V8, with its electronic fuel injection, is ready to
provide that classic Corvette power, and is mated to a
smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic 700R4 transmission for effortless
performance. When it comes to cornering, the factory independent
front and rear suspension setup provides confident handling for
those twisty backroads. The power disc brakes (front and rear)
ensure reliable stopping power when you need it.
