Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present
this 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, the first year of the
groundbreaking C6 generation-a model that redefined America's
sports car for the modern era.
Finished in Magnetic Red Metallic, this Corvette commands attention
with its sleek profile, exposed headlights, and refined
aerodynamics. 2005 marked a complete redesign for the Corvette,
improving performance, comfort, and handling while preserving the
unmistakable Corvette DNA.
Under the hood, power comes from the 6.0L LS2 V8, producing 400
horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Paired to a 6-speed manual
transmission, it delivers that raw, connected driving feel
enthusiasts crave. The LS2 brought aluminum-block refinement and an
impressive rev range, offering exhilarating acceleration with
everyday reliability.
Decoding the VIN (1G1YY24U655113670) confirms this as a 2005
Corvette Coupe, powered by the LS2 engine and assembled in Bowling
Green, Kentucky-the same plant that's been home to every Corvette
since 1981.
Inside, the tan leather interior complements the red exterior
beautifully. The cockpit features dual-zone climate control,
power-adjustable seats, a premium Bose sound system, and removable
roof panel, blending open-air freedom with coupe rigidity. With
refined materials and advanced electronics, the C6 marked a true
step forward in Corvette craftsmanship.
This generation introduced key improvements-shorter overhangs, a
tighter chassis, and a more responsive suspension-making it both a
daily-capable cruiser and a legitimate high-speed grand tourer.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this 2005 Corvette represents
the ideal bridge between analog power and modern engineering-a car
that delivers the visceral thrill of a true American sports
machine.
