Vehicle Description
You don't need to buy that family sedan when the collectable sports
car of your dreams is at a value price. This 1997 Chevrolet
Corvette has that perfect balance of legendary pedigree and modern
convenience. And with only 54K original miles, you'll be ahead of
the curve on this first-year C5.
Red was the most popular color for the inaugural year for the C5.
Sure, that always looks good, but there's something about Sebring
Silver that really has our attention. The metallic elements in the
precious metal paint have that perfect combination of looking
sophisticated while loving the sunshine. Of course, our impression
might also be from the fact that this factory-applied hue has
received excellent care over the years. And the low mileage means
few signs of the hazards of the road. Of course when it comes to
shine, a proper American classic deserves some chrome. So this one
has the optional deluxe high polish five-spoke wheels. You'll also
love the few subtle aggressive accents like the Z06-style ducts
near the door and the red Corvette script on the rear. But the best
feature of this C5 is the distinctive low, long hood of the
Corvette that gives it a classic appearance connecting it with
previous generations. It's this lineage that lets us know how much
of a future classic we're looking at today.
You've seen the low miles on this car, and that also means very
little seat time. That's why the performance-oriented black
interior looks so nice. The leather buckets strike a nice balance
between sports car snug and all-day comfortable. C5 Corvettes come
loaded right out of the box, and this one has plenty of great
modern features. It includes a Bose premium stereo, leather-wrapped
steering wheel, dual airbags, power windows, power locks,
anti-theft system, keyless entry, and dual zone climate control.
There's a real trunk in the C5, which makes it the perfect
adventure companion. On any golf weekend it can carry the clubs and
luggage, and there's still room to stow the targa top so you can
let the wind flow freely during your getaway.
The LS1 V8 was a huge leap forward in Corvette technology. The
5.7-liter motor is effortlessly powerful, suitably quiet, and
surprisingly economical. It is one of those powerplants that
releases a fierce growl when intimidated, but the animal remains
tame and caged when it's not time to be aggressive. Best of all,
the control is all up to you thanks to the six-speed manual
transmission. This numbers-matching coupe comes with power
steering, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, Goodyear Eagle F1
tires, and a fully independent double-wishbone suspension. So all
Corvettes are made to be the meanest Saturday night cruisers
around, but this one is also good for the cross-country
roadtrips.
This Corvette has been in loving care, and only averaging 2,700
miles a year and the included the original owner's manual is the
proof. Such a nice first-year C5 is a great future classic, and at
this an affordable price, we know it will be gone quickly. Call
