"Named the Chevrolet Corvette, (C5), made by the Chevrolet section
of General Motors was the 5th generation of the Chevrolet Corvette
performance vehicle line - spanning from 1997 through to 2004. In
2000, Millennium Yellow was the first addition; a fitting name
considering the new millennium. In conjunction with this, the year
2000 saw the release of Dark Bowling Green Metallic. Apart from
paint color additions, the year 2000 saw no major edits to the C5.
The only notable addition was the upgrade option of the handling
package, optional to the Z51." Xtremecfm.com
For consignment, a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette coupe with a title
verified 49,754 actual miles. Xtremecfm continues, "The Corvette
C5s were a significant update over their predecessor the Corvette
C4; flaunting an all new engine, a new frame, updated transmission
location, and completely different styling."
Exterior
The new body for 2000 was especially accentuated when colored in
Millenium Yellow as our example is, here nicely augmented with
black spoked wheels, 19-inch in front and 20-inch in back, nicely
presented with silver rims and the yellow brake calipers showing
through. The staggered ZR rated tires enjoy a later 2022 date code.
In back, Euro style tail lights feature a yellow turn signal in a
red oval while quad chrome tips hint at what's underneath. Swing
around to the front and we find race inspired mesh over the intakes
and a broad hood kept smooth by hidden headlights. In profile, body
molding streaks down the center from the fender vent and the targa
top is showing with the solid yellow option. Imperfections include
some lower scrapes, touched up scratches, and typical chin
scrapes.
Interior
Tan and black make up the interior palette starting on the door
panels made of smooth, durable plastic and both doors present
cleanly. Sporty tan leather bucket seats occupy the cockpit and are
also in nice shape with the typical patina creasing on the driver's
side, while both flank as center console with a two tone armrest, a
two tone e-brake handle and boot, and a two tone shifter, boot and
base. The theme continues on the steering wheel where side grips
are black and 12 and 6 sides are tan. White faced gauges live in
the instrument cove while a multi function center screen shows the
functions of the AM/FM/CD player with XM capability above the A/C
switchgear. Plush tan carpet covers the footwells and the rear
cargo area where the optional glass targa resides.
Drivetrain
Pivot the hood forward and you'll see yellow valve covers that
match the exterior and sprucing up the 5.7 liter LS1 V8 good for
345 horsepower. It's mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission that routes power to the rear axle with 3.15 gears and
Positraction. The bay presents in very clean condition.
Undercarriage
Clean and dry conditions prevail underneath where the dual exhaust
features a Corsa cat back system, including the mufflers, and the
epic center exit with quad tips. Naturally, power disc brakes are
at all four corners and suspension consists of independent unequal
length double wishbones with transverse fiberglass monoleaf
springs.
Drive-Ability
Performing as you'd expect a sub-50,000 mile Vette to perform,
there are no surprises on our short jaunt around the test loop
where the car accelerates with authority, handles like a king, and
stops on a dime. All functional items on board get a green light
and it's time to find a spot under the lights for this yellow
performer. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
A bright exterior, a unique interior, and newish tires make this
one a worthy candidate to be on your Corvette search list. Some
would argue that Millenium Yellow is the best color for a C5 and if
you're in that camp, this one is a fine example! Some would argue
that the C5 looks great in any color, and we agree!
