2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
6-Speed Manual • 23k Miles • 1-Owner California Car
This exceptionally clean, one-owner 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was purchased new at the local Chevrolet dealership in Sonoma, California, and has remained here ever since. Driven sparingly—just 1,650 miles per year on average—it’s been garage-kept, dealer-serviced, and clearly pampered throughout its life. Ordered new with several desirable factory options, including the 6-speed manual transmission with a 3.42 axle ratio and the Preferred Equipment Group 2 (adding dual-zone A/C, memory package, power sport seats, fog lamps, and electrochromic mirrors), it also came equipped with 5-spoke polished aluminum wheels, body-side moldings, and a remote 12-disc CD changer. It includes its original books, manuals, both keys, service records, a clean Carfax, and a clear California title.
Power comes from the legendary 5.7-liter LS1 small-block V8 paired with the 6-speed manual gearbox, delivering 350 horsepower with that unmistakable Corvette growl. The car feels tight and responsive, with smooth clutch take-up and crisp, effortless shifting. The drivetrain operates exactly as it should—strong power delivery, no hesitation, and excellent oil pressure. Its four-wheel independent suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide confident handling, while traction control and stability assist keep it composed when pushed. A stainless steel exhaust with polished tips completes the car’s performance character, blending everyday drivability with classic Corvette spirit.
Finished in brilliant Torch Red, the paint remains glossy and well-preserved, showing straight body panels, precise gaps, and clean trim throughout. The car received a professional cosmetic repair in early 2024 after a minor scrape on the driver’s side, now virtually undetectable and finished to a very high standard. The glass is clear, the weatherstripping supple, and the lenses bright. It sits on polished 5-spoke aluminum wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, underscoring its purposeful yet elegant stance.
Inside, the black leather cockpit presents in excellent condition—no odors, minimal wear, and a clear indication of careful ownership. The power sport seats retain firm bolsters, the leather remains soft, and all switchgear works properly. Equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, memory settings for the driver’s seat and mirrors, keyless entry with alarm, power windows and locks, illuminated storage, and a premium Bose sound system with a remote 12-disc CD changer. It’s a non-smoker car that feels and smells as clean as it looks—one of the finer C5 interiors you’ll find.
