This 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition is an exceptional and increasingly rare find, showing just 45,136 kilometres or 20,046 miles from new. Finished in black with matching black interior, this highly preserved example presents beautifully and offers the unmistakable look and performance that made the C5 generation such an important chapter in Corvette history.
Under the hood sits the original 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 in outstanding unmodified condition. Factory rated at 350 horsepower and 360 lb ft of torque, the all aluminum LS1 features sequential fuel injection, coil near plug ignition, and a high flow intake design that delivers smooth yet aggressive performance. Paired with a automatic transmission and rear mounted transaxle, the C5 platform achieved near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, giving these cars exceptional balance and road manners.
One of the standout features of this Corvette is its desirable targa roof configuration. Included with the car are both the factory painted roof panel and an optional glass roof panel, allowing the next owner to choose between the traditional coupe appearance or a more open and airy driving experience while still maintaining the structural rigidity the targa design is known for.
The interior presents in near new condition and remains highly original throughout. Factory equipment includes factory sound, dual zone electronic climate control. The cabin reflects careful ownership and the exceptionally low mileage this Corvette has accumulated.
The body and paint are outstanding, with a deep black finish that highlights the sculpted lines of the C5 design. The overall presentation is exceptionally clean and consistent with a vehicle that has been sparingly driven and properly maintained from new.
Underneath, the car remains equally impressive. Clean and looks the condition of the low miles it has collected. Highly original, low mileage C5 Corvettes in this condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially with desirable options such as the dual roof panels. This is an outstanding opportunity for both collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of the best driving Corvettes of its era.
