1997 Corvette Coupe - Beautiful example of the legendary debut year for the highly acclaimed and completely re-designed C5 generation! Clean CarFax history and meticulously maintained with only 55k original miles. Fully loaded model with a desirable 6-speed manual transmission and finished in a RARE color combo. Powered by the all-aluminum "LS-1" 5.7L-V8 engine producing 345 horsepower with a limited-slip control and revolutionary rear-mounted transaxle design for ideal weight balance. Upgraded Billy Boat Performance stainless steel exhaust with VaraRam intake system to give it a healthy growl at both idle and acceleration. Car runs like a top, drives like a dream and shifts smooth at any speeds. Aggressive stance thanks to a set of staggered C6 style 19/18" wheels finished in Competition Gray and wrapped in GoodYear Eagle F1 tires. Exterior shows excellent in the stunning original shade of "SeaBring Silver" with barely any imperfections or road rash. The tinted "glass" removable targa top also shows well with the exception of a small scratch on driver's side corner. Interior contrasts perfectly in the rarely seen FireThorn Red and Black two-tone scheme throughout. Nicely optioned with full leather bucket seats, power everything, COLD A/C and 3-mode Active Ride Control. Original window sticker, books and owner's manual are included. Engine bay is spotless and the underside shows no signs of any previous damage or repair. These cars have always had a long reputation for being a great bang-for-the-buck performance car and proven reliable in almost every aspect. This iconic model year marked the end of a so-so C4 era and a giant boost to start the next generation of GM Corvette performance. Here's your chance to get behind the wheel of a fan favorite and in-expensive way to join the coveted "Corvette Club"!
