For Sale: 2000 Chevrolet Corvette in Concord, North Carolina

When it debuted in 1997, the C5 had the distinction of being the first Corvette designed as a convertible first, and then as a coupe. That design decision made the fifth-generation 'Vette the most structurally sound drop-top in Corvette history to date, making it feel safe and secure with or without a roof. With just 15,227 actual miles on its odometer, this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, decked out in its original Millennium Yellow paint complete with black decal stripes, looks and feels almost new.

Inside, we find a plush black leather interior featuring dual power bucket seats complete with lumbar support, separated by a beautiful center body color teardrop displaying the iconic Crossed Flags emblem. A four-spoke padded steering wheel sits in front of a six-pod analog gauge cluster, with a big 7,000 rpm tachometer and matching 200 mph speedometer, each flanked by a pair of auxiliary gauges on either side. The convertible top was made for manual operation to keep weight down, but the locks, windows, and mirrors are all power-assisted. Another C5 introduced feature is the trick Heads-Up Display, allowing the driver to keep an eye on both speed and the road at the same time. The original AC Delco AM/FM/CD player is situated above the push-button dual-zone HVAC controls, allowing both the driver and passenger to easily customize the soundtrack and temperature.

Underneath that signature front-hinged fiberglass hood, we find a 5.7-liter LS1 V-8 engine. One of the most advanced overhead valve engines to date, the LS1 made use of a lightweight aluminum block and heads setup, a 10.1:1 compression ratio, and a composite intake manifold to crank out an advertised 345 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transaxle, which transfers it to the pavement via a limited-slip differential. A staggered set of wheels and tires measuring 17-inch polished five-spoke wheels shod in 245/45ZR-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber, while a larger set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in wider 275/40ZR-18 Goodyear tires out back to give this sports car an aggressive stance and look from any angle.
